A new vision, a new beginning in a new millennium : a practical way of reducing arms, armies and wars for the survival of humanity.Globalisation has created an interconnected world, but has not diminished violence, militarism and inequality. The Economics of Killing describes how the power of global elites, entrenched under globalisation, has created a deadly cycle of violence.In this groundbreaking work, Vijay Mehta shows how attempts at peaceful national development are routinely blocked by Western powers. He locates the 2008 financial crisis in US attempts to block China's model of development. He shows how Europe and the US conspire with regional dictators to prevent countries from developing advanced industries, and how this system has fed terrorism. Mehta argues that a different world is possible, based on policies of disarmament, demilitarisation and sustainable development. This original and thought-provoking book will be of great interest to anyone concerned about the consequences of endless war fuelled by the West.WarEconomic aspectsDeveloping countriesPovertyDeveloping countriesWarEconomic aspectsPoverty338.90091724Mehta Vijay1671776MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910829599803321The economics of killing4034626UNINA
