Blood and Treasure - The...

Duncan Weldon

Wars are expensive, both in human terms and monetary ones. But while warfare might be costly it has also, at times, been an important driver of economic change and progress. Over the long span of history nothing has shaped human institutions—and thus the process of economic development—as much as war and violence. Wars made states and states made wars. As the costs of warfighting grew so did state structures, taxation systems and national markets for debt. And as warfare became ever more destructive the incentive for governments to resort to it changed too. 
 
Blood and Treasure looks at the history and economics of warfare from the Viking Age to the war in Ukraine, examining how incentives and institutions have changed over the centuries. It surveys how warfare helped drive Europe's rise to global prominence, and it explains how the total wars of the twentieth century required a new type of strategy, one that took economics seriously. 
 
Underpinning this riveting narrative is a focus on how and why the economics of conflict have changed over time. This is a story of how economics can help to explain the motivations of war, and how understanding the history of warfare can help explain modern economics.

American Warrior Societies -...

Rolf Hedger

This book bundle explores the military prowess, resistance strategies, and conquests of three formidable warrior civilizations in the Americas: the Mapuche Empire, the Mixtec Empire, and the Tarascan Empire. These societies, known for their resilience, strategic warfare, and ability to challenge powerful enemies, played crucial roles in shaping the history of their regions.   
Discover the Mapuche Empire, a fierce and independent people of southern South America who resisted Inca and Spanish invasions for centuries. Renowned for their adaptability in battle, use of guerrilla warfare, and iron determination, the Mapuche warriors held their ground against colonial forces longer than most indigenous groups in the Americas.   
Unravel the history of the Mixtec Empire, a civilization known for its skilled warriors, masterful diplomacy, and sophisticated city-states spread across Oaxaca. Famous for their codices and intricate metallurgy, the Mixtec people engaged in both military conquest and strategic alliances to expand their influence and protect their lands from rival forces.   
Explore the Tarascan Empire, a powerful rival of the Aztecs that built a highly organized military state in western Mexico. Unlike most Mesoamerican civilizations, the Tarascans developed advanced metal weapons and defensive fortifications, allowing them to successfully resist Aztec expansion and maintain their sovereignty until the arrival of the Spanish.   
From relentless resistance to tactical supremacy, these warrior societies shaped the course of history through their unwavering spirit and military innovations. This book is perfect for history enthusiasts eager to learn about the fearless civilizations that defied conquest and fought for their survival.
