Abstract: The fundamental question for a democracy is what is the financial burden that the nation accepts for what defence. The costs are both initial constraints in the determination of the military force taking into account the available useful budget and the level of security defined under financial constraint by the state. The choice between labor and capital, imports or national arms production, conscription or professional army, arms export or arms control, public price formation or market formation, are essential. While France does not export its military nuclear technology, it uses exports to possibly benefit from economies of scale that will accrue either to the state budget or to the finances of arms companies.
