{"product_id":"the-great-illusion-1","title":"The Great Illusion","description":"\u003cp\u003e'The Great Illusion,' authored by Norman Angell, is a profound exploration of the delusions surrounding war and the false notions of national power prevalent in the early 20th century. Published initially in 1910, Angell’s work argued that the interdependence of modern economies rendered war as an unprofitable enterprise, fundamentally challenging the prevailing beliefs that glorified militarism and nationalistic fervor. Through compelling arguments and extensive evidence, Angell contends that the destructive nature of war ultimately undermines the prosperity of all nations involved. The book meticulously deconstructs the illusion of military might as a means to achieve security and prosperity, advocating instead for peaceful solutions and economic cooperation between nations. Despite being published over a century ago, 'The Great Illusion' remains incredibly relevant, resonating in today’s discourse on conflict, globalization, and diplomacy. Angell’s insights serve as a timeless reminder of the importance of understanding our interconnected world and the futility of armed conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Booksclassic","offers":[{"title":"Perfect Bound","offer_id":67400291975472,"sku":"9609441364590","price":13.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/the-great-illusion-1","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
