    Commerce and Peace in the Enlightenment

    For many Enlightenment thinkers, discerning the relationship between


    commerce and peace was the central issue of modern politics. The logic
    of commerce seemed to require European states and empires to learn
    how to behave in more peaceful, self-limiting ways. However, as the
    fate of nations came to depend on the flux of markets, it became diffi-
    cult to see how their race for prosperity could ever be fully disentangled
    from their struggle for power. On the contrary, it became easy to see
    how this entanglement could produce catastrophic results. This vol-
    ume showcases the variety and the depth of approaches to economic
    rivalry and the rise of public finance that characterized Enlightenment
    discussions of international politics. It presents a fundamental reassess-
    ment of these debates about “perpetual peace” and their legacy in the
    history of political thought.
