Abstract: The economic analysis of military expenditure is often neglected, as peace in a capitalist economy is an underlying assumption, rarely expressed. The stated function of military expenditure is national security in the face of other states that might engage in armed conflict in order to exert domination effects on the country, to engage in predation of national resources or to transform the existing political system. In these circumstances, there are many issues involved in the choice of military expenditure, including the size of the expenditure to be incurred, the military strategies to be chosen, and the economic consequences of the choices on the country's consumption or investment.
