On the social cost of U.S. militarism

S. Melman

American Journal of Public Health, 1980, vol. 70, issue 9, 953-955

Abstract: The authors judgment is that the present cost of U.S. military policy and the allied economic cost will necessarily degrade both the economic and the military security of the United States. The economic well-being of the American people will not be measurably improved until the capital and allied technology resources devoted to the arms race are substantially transferred to civilian use, with accompanying reversal of the arms race. The issue here is a fundamental one and requires address in a fundamental manner.
