The Case Of Going To War, by Josiah Tucker, explores the economic motivations behind warfare, particularly the pursuit of trade advantages. Written during a period of intense commercial rivalry between nations, Tucker's work delves into the rationale of procuring, enlarging, or securing trade through military conflict. This treatise offers a critical perspective on 18th-century mercantilist policies and their impact on international relations.
Tucker's insights remain relevant for understanding the historical intersections of economics, politics, and military strategy. Scholars and students of economic history, political science, and international relations will find this work a valuable resource for examining the enduring relationship between trade and conflict. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the economic thinking of a pivotal era and its continued relevance to contemporary global issues.
