Abstract: Abstract The ‘war industry’ is that segment of economic structures and activities which produces what is purchased with military expenditures, mainly out of nation-states’ military budgets. Unilateral National Defence Organisations (UNDOs) are those departments within governments that organise the war industry. We may add terrorist organisations (soldiers without governments) to this list.
