This volume contains a collection of articles by leading thinkers in economics, political economy and history. They explore the enduring challenges of avoiding war and ensuring peace. In addition to the clash of national political and economic interests, the economic system and character of the domestic economy can also foster conflict, as exemplified by the military-industrial complex. The international economic system can have the same effect by producing unemployment and financial imbalances. The latter view was emphasized by Keynes. The book provides vital insight into the abrupt and dangerous shift to conflict between the US, Russia and China. This re-release of the special issue of the Review of Keynesian Economics presents vital new thinking on one of the most important topics of our time. It is essential reading for scholars interested in the political economy of war and peace.

Edited by Raffaele Giammetti, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Italy and Thomas Palley, Founding Editor, Review of Keynesian Economics and Principal at Economics for Democratic and Open Societies, USA
