Description

Explore the complex connections between defense budgets and national stability with The Political Economy of Military Spending in the United States. Published by Routledge, this timely collection of essays applies a political economy approach to understand how military expenditures influence various sectors of American life. Readers will examine the direct relationships between defense spending and political-business cycles, public opinion, and the historical US-Soviet relationship. The text also addresses the impact of military action and war on national priorities. By studying these economic drivers, you can better understand the tension between military needs and economic performance, including the trade deficit and the classic guns versus butter debate. This book provides a deep look at how fiscal policy and defense requirements shape the broader economic landscape of the United States.
