'An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and The Terms of Its Perpetuation' by Thorstein Veblen is a seminal work that delves into the socio-economic dynamics underlying peace and its sustenance. Veblen, a renowned American economist and sociologist, published this book in 1917 during the tumultuous period of World War I.In this book, Veblen offers a critical analysis of the prevailing attitudes towards peace and war, examining the interplay between economic interests, political structures, and cultural values. He argues that conventional approaches to achieving and maintaining peace often fail to address the root causes of conflict, which are deeply rooted in socio-economic inequalities and power dynamics.Veblen explores how the profit motive, militarism, and vested interests perpetuate cycles of war and conflict, highlighting the role of industrial capitalism and the military-industrial complex in shaping international relations. He critiques the notion of 'war as a natural state' and challenges the prevailing ideology of nationalism and imperialism, advocating for a more rational and equitable approach to global governance.Central to Veblen’s argument is the idea that true peace can only be achieved through structural reforms that address the underlying economic and social injustices inherent in modern societies. He proposes various measures to promote peace, including the democratization of economic resources, the reduction of militarism, and the cultivation of international cooperation based on mutual respect and understanding.Overall, 'An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and The Terms of Its Perpetuation' offers a provocative and insightful analysis of the complex relationship between economics, politics, and peace, making it a timeless classic in the field of peace studies and international relations.
