The War State: The Cold War Origins Of The Military-Industrial Complex And The Power Elite, 1945-1963
Michael Swanson [Swanson, Michael]
Today when you factor in the interest on the national debt from past
wars and total defense expenditures the United States spends almost 40%
of its federal budget on the military. It accounts for over 46% of
total world arms spending. Before World War II it spent almost nothing
on defense and hardly anyone paid any income taxes. You can't have big
wars without big government. Such big expenditures are now threatening
to harm the national economy. How did this situation come to be?
In
this book you'll learn how in the critical twenty years after World
War II the United States changed from being a continental democratic
republic to a global imperial superpower. Since then nothing has ever
been the same again. In this book you will discover this secret history
of the United States that formed the basis of the world we live in
today.
