How did economic and financial factors determine how America waged war in the twentieth century? This important new book exposes the influence of economics and finance on the questions of whether the nation should go to war, how wars would be fought, how resources would be mobilized, and the long-term consequences for the American economy. Ranging from the Spanish-American War to the Gulf War, Hugh Rockoff explores the ways in which war can provide unique opportunities for understanding the basic principles of economics as wars produce immense changes in monetary and fiscal policy and so provide a wealth of information about how these policies actually work. He shows that wars have been more costly to the United States than most Americans realize as a substantial reliance on borrowing from the public, money creation and other strategies to finance America's war efforts have hidden the true cost of war.

Sommes-nous les premiers à distinguer dans les lumières éblouissantes du progrès technique, l’ombre de ses dangers ? En occultant la réflexivité environnementale des sociétés passées, ce schéma simpliste dépolitise l’histoire longue de la destruction des environnements et nous empêche de comprendre les ressorts de la crise contemporaine. Pour éviter cette amnésie, une histoire politique du risque technologique et de sa régulation sur la longue durée était nécessaire.L’Apocalypse joyeuse expose l’entrée de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne dans la modernité industrielle (fin XVIIIe-XIXe siècle) : celle des vaccins, des machines, des usines chimiques et des locomotives. Elle nous plonge au cœur des controverses vives qui surgirent autour des risques et des nuisances de ces innovations, et montre comment les critiques et les contestations furent réduites ou surmontées pour qu’advienne la société industrielle.L’histoire du risque ici racontée n’est pas celle d’une prise de conscience, mais celle de la construction d’une certaine inconscience modernisatrice.

"This concise and accessible introduction to European economic history focusses on the interplay between the development of institutions and the generation and diffusion of knowledge-based technologies. The author challenges the view that European economic history before the Industrial Revolution was constrained by population growth outstripping available resources. He argues instead that the limiting factor was the knowledge needed for technological progress but also that Europe was unique in developing a scientific culture and institutions which were the basis for the unprecedented technological progress and economic growth of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Simple explanatory concepts are used to explain growth and stagnation as well as the convergence of income over time whilst text boxes, figures, an extensive glossary and online exercises enable students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This is the only textbook students will need to understand Europe's unique economic development and its global context"--Provided by publisher.
