Re: The Bichler & Nitzan Archives: "Cheap Wars"

["Max B. Sawicky" <sawicky@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

B&N seems to say military spending to prop up capitalism is the fulcrum for
the policy, but the official memo seems to say military spending is not as
costly as you might think, more as a secondary afterthought.

Subject: The Bichler & Nitzan Archives: "Cheap Wars"

Nitzan, Jonathan, and Shimshon Bichler. 2006. "Cheap Wars." Tikkun,
August, 9.

ABSTRACT
The new conflicts of the twenty-first century - the 'infinite wars,' the
'clashes of civilization,' the 'new crusades' - are fundamentally
different from the mass wars and statist military conflicts that
characterized capitalism from the nineteenth century until the end of
the Cold War. The novelty lies not so much in the military nature of the
conflicts, as in the broader role that war now plays in capitalism.
