{"product_id":"9781710611755","title":"Close the Pentagon: Rethinking National Security for a Positive-Sum World","description":"The Pentagon, famed as the world's largest office building, recently underwent a renovation process that took seventeen years and $4.5 billion -- ten times as long and four times the cost of constructing it in the first place. That makes it a potent symbol of a US foreign policy infrastructure built for another era, dominated by a massive, bureaucratic, hopelessly inefficient military machine. Close the Pentagon argues that traditional battlefield warfare is going extinct while the national security threats of the next fifty years -including climate change, pandemics, global financial meltdowns- don't need a military response. It is time to radically overhaul our foreign policy institutions -and budget-- to focus on diplomacy and global economic engagement. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eCharles Kenny\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJanuary 23, 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e162 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1710611758\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781710611755\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49163558355249,"sku":"9781710611755","price":13.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/41BZvPy7ucL__53609.jpg?v=1715218273","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781710611755","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
