Arms and Industry: A Study of the Foundations of International Polity is a book written by Norman Angell and first published in 1914. The book examines the relationship between arms production and international relations, arguing that the arms industry is a major factor in the perpetuation of war and conflict. Angell argues that the economic interdependence of nations makes war irrational and counterproductive, and that the arms industry creates a self-perpetuating cycle of conflict. He also suggests that the arms race is fueled by a false belief that military strength is necessary for national security. The book was written in the years leading up to World War I, and its ideas were influential in the peace movement of the time. However, the outbreak of war in 1914 seemed to contradict Angell's arguments, and the book's reception was mixed. Despite this, Arms and Industry remains an important work in the study of international relations and the role of economic factors in shaping political outcomes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
