Close the Pentagon

Rethinking National Security for a Positive-Sum World

Charles Kenny

Discover a bold call to action in Close the Pentagon. This book questions the relevance of traditional warfare in an era defined by new, non-military global security threats. Author Charles Kenny argues that it's time to close the door on a bureaucratic and inefficient military infrastructure, diverting attention to global diplomacy and economic engagement to tackle complex issues such as pandemics, climate change, and financial crises.

Kenny's earlier book "Getting Better" was a major inspiration for my Enlightenment Now. Also recommended: His new history of pandemics, and his cheeky "Close the Pentagon" (related to Mueller's The Stupidity of War).      source
