Atlanta is a unique southern city known for its vast diversity and
fast-paced lifestyle. Rarely is it associated with a rich beer and
brewing culture, but not for a lack of one. From Atlanta's first
brewery in the 1850s to the city's Saloon Row and the parched days
of local and national Prohibition, the earliest days of Atlanta's
beer history are laced with scandal and excitement. Follow the
journey of beer through Atlanta's development, starting with
colonial Georgia and the budding wilderness settlement of Terminus
and eventually evolving into the ever-growing metropolis known as
Atlanta. Authors Ron Smith and Mary Boyle celebrate the resurgence
of craft beer in a town that once burned to the ground. As Atlanta
rose from the ashes of the Civil War, so also has artisanal beer
made a comeback in this enigmatic but resilient city.
Military power and conflict have fuelled economic growth throughout
history. Money matters to the military; it is needed to finance war
and the desire to acquire it is often the motive for fighting. This
book examines the interaction of economics and conflict, it
explains the economic concepts used, and illustrates them with a
range of military examples, both contemporary and historical. Among
the many links explored lies the undeniable fact that fighting and
finance are often both driven by the same basic human motives, fear
and greed.
'Military Economics' draws on technical literature to provide an
accessible introduction to: security, military expenditures, the
arms industry, military operations and the economic consequences of
defence spending. It raises current debates about the optimal size
of the defence budget and examines how it is used to acquire
forces, troops and weapons. The book examines how these forces are
used to provide maximum military capability, and the potential to
prevail in combat. Economic issues are central to the preparation
for war, which involves balancing resources and commitments. By
exploring the interaction between the military and economy, power
and money, Ron Smith provides an insightful contribution to
military planning, which becomes essential to the modern world.
This book will be indispensable reading forall interested in
defence economics, war studies andpeace studies.
