Appeasing Bankers

In Appeasing Bankers, Jonathan Kirshner argues that financial communities within states are extremely cautious about war and policies that risk war, rooted in pragmatism rather than idealism.

The book uses five historical case studies to illustrate how banking and financial interests typically resist war, promoting 'sound money, not war.

' It examines the influence of these groups on international relations and decision-making leading to conflict.
