Recent Research on Defense Spending and Growth and Implications for Third World Disarmament
Abstract
Even if political and nationalistic obstacles to disarmament were
overcome, proposals to disarm might be challenged on purely economic
grounds. A significant number of countries might experience
declines in growth if military budgets were cut. Disarmament might
also be hindered if leaders choose only to recognize the positive effects
of defense budgets.
