Probably the single most important work of one of this century's most original and trenchant thinkers. Defying "liberal" and "conservative" shibboleths alike, Dennis reveals the role of over-production and hyper-capitalism, international banking, and debt money in fomenting internal chaos (revolution) and external strife (war). As a State Department diplomat and international banker, the author saw close up the forces that make for domestic and international political upheaval. He was also the foremost defendant in FDR's infamous 1944 Sedition Trial. What are the Dynamics? For author Lawrence Dennis, the fundamental dynamic of war in this age is the capitalist juggernaut that demands interminable industrial and market expansion to absorb excess goods created by debt-fueled economies. When bankers create money out of thin air, and lend it at interest, more money must be created to pay back the principal plus the interest. Industry must then feverishly produce more and more goods to sell to pay off these debts and shore up the imaginary money with real assets. In times of peace, excess goods can be palmed off onto colonies, client-states, and poor countries in the form of foreign aid and export surpluses. But there comes a time when the recipients can no longer take this "help" and the capitalist must look around for other ways to dispose of excessive production. War - the wasteful enterprise that it is - makes an ideal dumping ground. Who was Lawrence Dennis? A man who once worked for the Seligman international bankers, who later came to despise international finance and capitalism itself. A man who once worked for the U.S. State Department, who was later charged with sedition. A man who once called for U.S. Marines to invade Nicaragua and topple the government, who later came to unequivocally condemn U.S. interference overseas. A man who described "fascism" as inevitable, and yet admired leading socialists. The Dynamics of War and Revolution, first published in 1941 when America hovered on the brink of war and Europe was already in flames, represented a milestone in American political-philosophical outlook. But who today has heard of Lawrence Dennis or his works? Both he and his ideas have long since been consigned to the Memory Hole by a media and academia anxious to ignore or suppress any manifestation of truly independent thought that threatens The Established Order and doesn't fit within the conventional Left/Right spectrum. As this book again goes to press in this Noontide reprint edition, America and other capitalist nations continue to war around the globe at virtually every opportunity. What could be more relevant today than a book that describes the causes and dynamics of war? And who could better write such a book than an interventionist capitalist who rudely awoke to the injustice and immorality of the system he once embraced? Preface by James J. Martin.
