Description
Civil War is Not a Stupid Thing explores the complex relationship between violence and economic development in developing countries. By examining recent conflicts and post-conflict reconstruction efforts, as well as historical examples from the American Civil War and nineteenth-century Europe, Christopher Cramer challenges two common perspectives on war.
The liberal interpretation views war as exclusively negative, while a romantic view of violence is often seen as utopian. Cramer's book offers an alternative understanding of the role of violence in the transition to capitalism and a global economy.
