How the US military-industrial complex was created (with historian Aaron Good)

from Geopolitical Economy Report · host Ben Norton

A history of how the US military-industrial complex was created, with its deep links to Wall Street, following the National Security Council's top secret memo NSC 68: a blueprint for the first cold war. First cold war architect George Kennan wrote in 1987: "Were the Soviet Union to sink tomorrow under the waters of the ocean, the American military-industrial complex would have to go on, substantially unchanged, until some other adversary could be invented. Anything else would be an unacceptable shock to the American economy."
