The Great Illusion: A Study of the Relation of Military Power in Nations to Their Economic and Social Advantage

Más información sobre el libro

This groundbreaking book is a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between military power and national prosperity. Drawing on extensive research and analysis, the author argues that the idea that military strength translates into economic and social advantage is fundamentally flawed. In his view, war is not only morally dubious but also economically and socially destructive, and the pursuit of military power can only lead to poverty, misery, and even global cataclysm. The Great Illusion is a bold and thought-provoking challenge to conventional wisdom, and remains just as relevant today as when it was first published over a century ago.
