In the December 1989 issue of PS , Thomas Dye and Harmon Zeigler argue that socialist nations are inherently more militaristic than capitalist ones because they are “driven by the bureaucratic imperatives of a society organized on collective coercive principles.” In contrast, “capitalist states, whether authoritarian or democratic, rely principally upon markets to organize societal activity. Markets organize people for private enterprise and rely upon voluntary exchange to carry on these enterprises” therefore, capitalist nations are inherently less militaristic (Dye and Zeigler 1989: 812). Below are some major differences I have with their position
Authoritarianism · Bureaucracy · Capitalism · Communism · Democracy · Militarism · Political economy · Political science · Politics · Socialism · Sociology · Economic Theory and Institutions · Law · Political Economy and Marxism
