About the book
Published two years before World War I, this political essay by Norman Angell presents a bold thesis: that modern war has become economically irrational and impractical among interdependent industrialized nations. Angell argues that global commercial and financial interconnection makes war not only destructive but economically counterproductive for all parties.
Despite its unfortunate historical reception—the Great War broke out shortly after—the book remains deeply relevant to contemporary discussions about global conflict, economic interdependence and the structural incentives for peace.
