ISBN10: 0195182928, ISBN13: 9780195182927, [publisher: Oxford University Press Inc, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. Other books exist that warn of the dangers of empire and war. However, few, if any, of these books do so from a scholarly, informed economic standpoint. In Depression, War, and Cold War , Robert Higgs, a highly regarded economic historian, makes pointed, fresh economic arguments against war, showing links between government policies and the economy in a clear, accessible way. He boldly questions, for instance, the widely accepted idea that World War II wasthe chief reason the Depression-era economy recovered. The book as a whole covers American economic history from the Great Depression through the Cold War. Part I centers on the Depression and World War II. Itaddresses the impact of government policies on the private sector, the effects of wartime procurement policies on the economy, and the economic consequences of the transition to a peacetime economy after the victorious end of the war. Part II focuses on the Cold War, particularly on the links between Congress and defense procurement, the level of profits made by defense contractors, and the role of public opinion andnt ideological rhetoric in the maintenance of defense expenditures over time.This new book extends and refines ideas of the earlier book with new interpretations, evidence, and statistical analysis. This book will reach a similar audience of students, researchers, and educatedlay ...

Description: " 'Depression, War, and Cold War' is the product of a decade or more of research into some of the most vexing issues of the last century and our own times. He [Higgs] confronts them directly: Why did the great depression last so long? How prosperous was the US economy in the 1940s? Why did prosperity resume after the war? What happened to capital formation in a time of wartime planning? How did it happen that the US crawled out of wartime central planning by 1947? What were the true costs of the Cold War? How was the Higgsian notion of crisis used as an excuse for power during the Cold War? To what extent is the US corporate sector subsidized by the warfare state? How is public opinion related to US military spending? What happens when Congress wants to build weapons that the military doesn't want? If you have ever wondered how much of the official story of the last fifty years is correct, Higgs makes it clear: your worst suspicions are correct. The official statistics are little more than fiction. The level of corruption in the warfare state is egregious.
