Amazing insights

This book provides a fantastic look at both the historical and current dimensions of the political economy of the world. Detailed analysis is presented remarkably using the simplest words to describe the insanity of the wasteful consumption that surrounds us. This is a must read book. It shows how most wars throughout history (including cold wars) have resources and trade at their core -- including both World Wars. J. W. Smith goes on to show that the resources wasted in just the Cold War could have industrialized the world more than two times over!
