The political economy of military expenditure

Writers on the political economy of military expenditure and the arms race are categorised into several schools of thought. Emphasis is put on the technical and historical limitations of the arguments put forward by each school. The author argues that the dynamic nature of the historical process results in socio-political and economic changes within a specific mode of production thus making attempts to formulate a general theory of military expenditure futile.
