Book Description
Excerpt from War Costs and Their Financing: A Study of the Financing of the War and the After-War Problems of Debt and Taxation The effort has been made in this volume to present in broad outline the salient features of war finance and some of the financial problems now confronting the United States and the leading nations of Europe. Although it is still too early to assess accurately the relative importance of various economic and financial measures and events, there is a certain gain in recording them while they are still fresh in mind. Many events were so extraordinary, and the measures taken to cope with them so unprecedented, that much time and study will be required finally to determine their part in the World War. But that they played an important role in determining the outcome of the struggle is clear. The "silver bullets" were equally decisive with those of lead or steel in deciding the victory. Never before were the differences between a good and a vicious theory of war finance so important and so far-reaching, for never before have war expenditures reached such stupendous figures. It had been hoped that the wide ramifications of international credit and trade would constitute an effectual guarantee against war, but this hope was rudely dashed. Again, when war actually began, it was confidently predicted that the financial exhaustion of the belligerents would bring it to an end after a few months, but events proved these prophecies also false. A constantly recurrent problem throughout the whole war was the question as to whence came the enormous sums which were expended with such reckless prodigality.

How States Pay for Wars
Author: Rosella Cappella ZielinskiPublisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501706519
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Armies fight battles, states fight wars. To focus solely on armies is to neglect the broader story of victory and defeat. Military power stems from an economic base, and without wealth, soldiers cannot be paid, weapons cannot be procured, and food cannot be bought. War finance is among the most consequential decisions any state makes: how a state finances a war affects not only its success on the battlefield but also its economic stability and its leadership tenure. In How States Pay for Wars, Rosella Cappella Zielinski clarifies several critical dynamics lying at the nexus of financial and military policy.Cappella Zielinski has built a custom database on war funding over the past two centuries, and she combines those data with qualitative analyses of Truman's financing of the Korean War, Johnson’s financing of the Vietnam War, British financing of World War II and the Crimean War, and Russian and Japanese financing of the Russo-Japanese War. She argues that leaders who attempt to maximize their power at home, and state power abroad, are in a constant balancing act as they try to win wars while remaining in office. As a result of political risks, they prefer war finance policies that meet the needs of the war effort within the constraints of the capacity of the state.
The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict
Author: Linda J. BilmesPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 9780393068085
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
The true cost of the Iraq War is $3 trillion—and counting—rather than the $50 billion projected by the White House. Apart from its tragic human toll, the Iraq War will be staggeringly expensive in financial terms. This sobering study by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes casts a spotlight on expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veterans—for the rest of their lives. Shifting to a global focus, the authors investigate the cost in lives and economic damage within Iraq and the region. Finally, with the chilling precision of an actuary, the authors measure what the U.S. taxpayer's money would have produced if instead it had been invested in the further growth of the U.S. economy. Written in language as simple as the details are disturbing, this book will forever change the way we think about the war.
The United States of War

ISBN: 0520385683

Pages : 464
Book Description
2020 L.A. Times Book Prize Finalist, History A provocative examination of how the U.S. military has shaped our entire world, from today’s costly, endless wars to the prominence of violence in everyday American life. The United States has been fighting wars constantly since invading Afghanistan in 2001. This nonstop warfare is far less exceptional than it might seem: the United States has been at war or has invaded other countries almost every year since independence. In The United States of War, David Vine traces this pattern of bloody conflict from Columbus's 1494 arrival in Guantanamo Bay through the 250-year expansion of a global U.S. empire. Drawing on historical and firsthand anthropological research in fourteen countries and territories, The United States of War demonstrates how U.S. leaders across generations have locked the United States in a self-perpetuating system of permanent war by constructing the world’s largest-ever collection of foreign military bases—a global matrix that has made offensive interventionist wars more likely. Beyond exposing the profit-making desires, political interests, racism, and toxic masculinity underlying the country’s relationship to war and empire, The United States of War shows how the long history of U.S. military expansion shapes our daily lives, from today’s multi-trillion–dollar wars to the pervasiveness of violence and militarism in everyday U.S. life. The book concludes by confronting the catastrophic toll of American wars—which have left millions dead, wounded, and displaced—while offering proposals for how we can end the fighting.
