Proponents of arms control and disarmament are often confronted
with the argument that reductions in defense expenditure lead to
cutbacks in military industries and thus to economic hardship.
While a reduction in defense production would cause some economic
dislocation, this would be mitigated by the ability of the economy
to adapt to changing patterns of production. This book, first
published in 1983, assesses the likely effects of reductions in
defense industries by an examination of the roles these industries
play in national economies. Each chapter discusses industry
employment, output, research and development, capital value,
profitability, concentration and competition, internal organization
and regional employment concentration. Other questions considered
include the economic importance of weapons exports, the defense
industry as a 'leading edge' in maintaining national technological
capabilities, and the reliance of individual firms on defense
contracting.
