 Norman Angell - Samuel Brittan: Biographical Dictionary of British Economists 07/03
Ralph Norman Angell Lane was born on December 26, 1872 in Holbeach, Lincolnshire.
But by the age of 17 Angell was so appalled by the lack of interest of so many of his family and friends in his ideas and so despaired of the rulers of Europe adopting rational policies that he decided to immerse himself in manual labour in California.
Angell never seemed to have ambitions for an academic position and wrote mainly for the educated general public.

 NORMAN ANGELL FACTS AND INFORMATION
Sir Ralph Norman Angell Lane (December_26, 1872 - October_7, 1967) was a British lecturer, writer, and Member_of_Parliament for the Labour Party.

 The Strange Death of Liberal International Theory
Carr's vision is of a discipline that is thus doubly political: by embracing both analysis and ethical reflection it is itself an act of politics, and by excavating the relationship between reality and utopia it probes to the heart of the political in international relations.
Angell never articulated a systematic vision of international relations as a political science, but his work amounts to a passionate call for the `rational' study of world politics, in which the normative goal of national and international peace and security is pursued in a manner consistent with economic realities.
Angell had greater faith in the capacity of reason to reconcile the real and the right, but the emphasis he placed on the battle between rationality and irrationality left him far closer to Carr than either would have admitted.

Furthermore, Angell focuses his criticism of military spending on demonstrating the pointlessness of using military force to physically invade and steal gold reserves or take over factories, or to kill off foreign “competitors” who are vital as producers and consumers in the global economy.
Angell makes the case that nationalism is no longer a strong force because of the economic interdependence of nations, and that people feel more kinship with foreigners of their socioeconomic class than with their fellow citizens of other classes.
Angell’s vision of the potential of economic interdependence to eliminate international conflict might have been better phrased as an exhortation to leaders rather than an assertion that globalization had achieved a present and unshakeable peace.

 The Great Illusion: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webjournal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
We have arrived at grounds upon which to base a conclusion precisely opposite that of the popular judgment of Angell: Angell's book was not a farcial claim of war's impossibility because of the wisdom of Edwardian Man; it was a tragic prophecy of the course of the twentieth century.
Failing that, Angell joined with other leaders (including future Labour PM Ramsay Macdonald and Bertrand Russell) to create the Union for Democratic Control, a political party opposed to the anti-democratic and -transparent measures of the Asquith government (especially foreign secretary Sir Edward Grey).
The problem with Angell's analysis (as you present it here - I haven't read the book) is that it assumes that the (economic) interests of countries and the interests of their leaders are aligned when leaders are acting rationally.

The unreality of the worldview held by the U.S. Trade Representative is typical of this problem and was exemplified by a lengthy letter in The Washington Times July 23 by Ricardo Reyes, Deputy Press Secretary to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick.
Reyes did not like the column I had in the Washington Times on July 12 in which I questioned Zoellick's frequent references to the naive optimism of Norman Angell, a left-wing writer at the turn of the last century.
However, it is only in Angell's imagined world, free of geopolitical conflict, that the policies favored by Zoellick can be safely implemented.
