Wilson and Barash on Abolition and Deterrence
Quote of the week:
“You’ve got to dream a little bit if you’re going to get somewhere.” – George P. Shultz
Note to readers: Ward Wilson and David Barash have written with depth and feeling about abolition and nuclear deterrence. We’re within visual range but don’t exactly see eye to eye. I’ve invited them to offer their responses to my last post. Ward’s latest critique of our collective addiction to nuclear weapons can be found on Inkstick. David is professor of psychology emeritus at the University of Washington. His most recent book — Threats: Intimidation and its Discontents — was published in 2020 by Oxford University Press. Ward is first up.
