Summary "The Fruits of Victory" by Norman Angell is a political and economic analysis written in the early 20th century. This work acts as a sequel to Angell's earlier publication, "The Great Illusion," and continues his critique of nationalism, militarism, and the economic consequences of war. Angell examines how the dynamics of international relations fundamentally affect social and economic stability, particularly in post-war Europe. The book discusses themes of interdependence, economic cooperation, and the folly of coercive national policies that prioritize domination over collaboration. The opening of "The Fruits of Victory" introduces the idea that Britain's national independence and social stability are intricately tied to its ability to secure a stable supply of food and materials from abroad. Angell highlights the delicate balance between political power and economic necessity, arguing that British dependence on foreign production necessitates a cooperative rather than coercive approach to international relations. He outlines the dire consequences of neglecting these economic realities, as demonstrated by the famine and political disintegration affecting much of Europe after World War I. Through this lens, Angell sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how misguided nationalistic policies can undermine the very fabric of civilization. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
