Greed, Creed, and Grievance

Rethinking the Economics of War: the Intersection of Need, Creed, and Greed
Cynthia J. Arnson and I. William Zartman, Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2005.

On greed vs. grievance: “This book represents an attempt at such a synthesis, drawing on the path-breaking work of Collie rand others on the role of resource income, greed, and predation in fueling and sustaining conflict, and combining those insights with more long-standing, grievance-based explanations.” (p. 7)
