Rise of the Gunbelt - The Military Remapping of Industrial America

Zusatztext a good read! packed with information and ideas that provoke thought. Klappentext 'The Rise of the Gunbelt' offers a compelling portrait of the geography of the military - industrial complex! its winners and losers! its troubling economic and political consequences! and the role of the gunbelt in America's uncertain economic and military future. Zusammenfassung Since World War II, America's economic landscape has undergone a profound transformation. This economic restructuring, the authors argue, is a direct result of the rise of the military industrial complex (MIC) and the formation of a new industry based on defence spending and Pentagon contracts. This book chronicles the dramatic growth of this vast complex.
