Science - even in the loose sense in which it applies to sociology - is never complete, and occasionally, a new insight may reveal the need for a thoroughgoing revision. Firearms \u0026amp; the Fortress argues that the means of production - the most basic 'level' in Marx's schema - can only be predicated on the basis of something even more fundamental: 'the means of securitisation.' Along the way, we get an overview of recent critical theory and an attempt to map out a road to a better world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Ward\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913851656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913851651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cool Millennium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.67d","brand":"James Ward","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974656250111,"sku":"9781913851651","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5eb9e2ed-79df-4964-bb4b-ac5992372447.jpg?v=1750875674","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/firearms-the-fortress-james-ward-9781913851651","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
