About this book
Thorstein Veblen wrote this study in February 1917, borrowing its title from Kant's essay on perpetual peace. He asks on what terms a lasting peace could be set up and kept, whether anything in the present situation points toward those terms, and what would follow. Instead of arguing what nations ought to do, he looks to known habits of human behaviour that govern how states act. The first chapter treats the state and its relation to war and peace. Veblen was an American economist who also wrote The Theory of the Leisure Class.
