About this book
An Inquiry into the Nature of Peace and the Terms of Its Perpetuation is a work by Thorstein Veblen. The preface observes that it is now some 122 years since Kant wrote the essay, while the Peace to which he looked forward with a doubtful hope has not been among the things that happened since. A section argues that the governmental establishments of all the Christian nations are derived from the feudal establishments of the Middle Ages, which were of a predatory origin and of an irresponsible character.
The text also says that among the peoples of Christendom there has arisen, out of their contentious past, a preconception that human duty to mankind is of the nature of a debt. The book also says that where no recapitalisation has been effected for a considerable series of years, the yearly earnings of such businesslike coalitions have been known to approach fifty percent on the capitalised value.
