Ben Klotz

Ben Klotz is an economist, strategist, and writer whose career has focused on the intersection of policy, war, and society. He earned a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Minnesota while working at the RAND Corporation during the Vietnam War era. Later he taught economics at Temple University.

Klotz’s professional work examined military policy and the economic implications of national defense systems. His experience studying war planning and military institutions inspired his later writing.

In The Trail to Twilight for the Gods, he blends classical mythology, history, and political philosophy to explore the enduring causes of war and the possibility of lasting peace. Written as an epic poetic drama, the book reflects decades of reflection on global conflict, strategy, and human destiny.

He lives in Washington, D.C., where he continues to write about war, peace, and the systems that shape history.
