Abstract: France has nuclear weapons, which are often contested by groups of citizens. The question of disarmament is often posed before an in-depth reflection on the foundations of war and peace. As military spending continues to rise, the UN has sought to reduce the arms race by proposing disarmament for development, which is unlikely to happen. For Marxist thought, along with class struggle, capitalism is responsible for today's wars. For liberals, free trade is, on the contrary, a factor of peace. Under these conditions, the analysis of the impact of military expenditure on national economies is important, especially if it highlights their effects of domination, but also their technological advances. Misery produces considerably more deaths than contemporary wars. If we can seek to control the arms race globally, the question of disarmament raises other economic and political questions to which the two modes of production provide divergent answers.
