This authoritative book provides an up-to-date survey of the field of defense economics, synthesizing and unifying the vast range of literature in this area. All aspects of the economics of defense, disarmament, conversion and peace are embraced, analyzing both the demand and supply issues of defense spending.

This book presents an overview and assessment of the conceptual advances in economics during the last century. The book relies heavily on engaging examples, intended to draw in the reader and to demonstrate the far-reaching application of economic reasoning to social phenomena.

This book explains why the global community has been successful in correcting some recent large-scale problems, but has failed in addressing others. The analysis reaches from antibiotic-resistant microbes to greenhouse gases, from civil wars to international terrorism, and from the polluted atmospheres of cities to the depths of outer space.

Using simple economic reasoning, this book analyses a broad range of global challenges including global warming, ozone shield depletion, acid rain, nuclear waste disposal, revolution dispersion, international terrorism, disease eradication, population growth, tropical deforestation, and peacemaking.
