Military Expansion, Economic Decline: Impact of Military Spending on United States Economic Performance

by R.W. DeGrasse

Overview

By assessing the costs and benefits of military spending, the authors provide a "second opinion" on the subject of military economics. While advocates of increased military spending often stress the positive effects of the Pentagon on the economy, there has been little systematic summary of the "opportunity costs" that society pays for a large military establishment. This book fills that gap.
