Description
Questioning Globalized Militarism explores the concept of social waste within the capitalist world order, focusing on the production and consumption of arms. Peter Custers examines critical economic theory, historical studies of capitalism's rise, international trade conceptualizations, and the inequities spawned by globalized militarism.
The study draws on Marx's Capital, Volume 2, to develop new ideas about waste generation in military-nuclear and civilian-nuclear production chains. Custers introduces the concept of negative use-value to highlight the adverse consequences of products churned out by the military-nuclear complex.
Challenging the view that capitalism operates as a market system governed solely by internal exchanges, Custers presents historical evidence demonstrating the significant role of the capitalist state in shaping capitalism's evolution.
