>> Read interview on Truthout

In an interview with C.J. Polychroniou, PERI's James Boyce explains why war is ignored by most economists; dissects the link between economics and war, and more specifically capitalism’s relationship to war and conflict; and discusses the role that economics can play in peacebuilding.

This interview is based on Boyce's seven-part video series released by the Institute for New Economic Thinking in October 2024.
