简介
Ancient Greek historian Thucydides once remarked, "War is a matter not so much of arms as expenditure, through which arms can be made of service." In recognition of the centrality of economics to issues of war, Poast (economics and international studies, The Ohio State U.) presents a textbook accessible to undergraduate audiences that can be used in a stand-alone elective course as a supplement in more general economics and political science courses. He includes case studies of major US wars from World War I onwards and coverage of defense spending and the economy, military labor, weapons procurement, and security issues such as civil wars in the developing world, terrorism, and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
