Description: Questioning Globalized Militarism : Nuclear and Military Production and Critical Economic Theory, Paperback by Custers, Peter; Amin, Samir (FRW), ISBN 0850365953, ISBN-13 9780850365955, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US In this wide-ranging study Peter Custers seeks to highlight the importance of the production and consumption of arms as a form of social waste within the capitalist world order. The study encompasses critical economic theory, historical studies of the rise of capitalism, conceptualizations of international trade, and analyses of the inequities spawned by globalized militarism. Drawing especially on Volume 2 of Marx's Capital, he creatively develops some of Marx's classical themes. The individual circuit of capital outlined in that work is utilized by Custers to demonstrate the generation of various types of waste at each step in the military-nuclear and civilian-nuclear production chains. He also proposes the new concept of negative use-value to highlight the adverse consequences for human beings and the environment, of products that are churned out by the military-nuclear complex. Particularly insightful is the thesis he advances in opposition to the view that the capitalist system in its earlier phases operated as a market system governed by 'internal' exchanges. Custers produces historical evidence to demonstrate that this system always incorporated a vital 'external' agent, namely the capitalist state, which has played a significant role in capitalism's evolution at crucial junctures.
