Beyond the Battlefield: Remaking the Military-Industrial Complex for Global Good

For generations, the ingenuity and resources of humankind have been significantly channeled towards the development and deployment of instruments of conflict. The military-industrial complex, a powerful and deeply entrenched network of institutions, industries, and ideologies, has grown to a scale that dwarfs many national economies. While often justified under the banner of national security, its sheer magnitude and focus on destructive capabilities raise profound questions about opportunity costs and the potential for a different future. This book embarks on a critical exploration of this complex, not to simply critique its existence, but to envision and chart a course towards a radical transformation: its dismantling and reorganization into a technical-industrial complex dedicated to the flourishing of humanity and the preservation of our planet.
