Cutting the Military Budget While Improving Real Security
Share
The Macroeconomics Team of the Game Changers project will be discussing how the U.S. military budget has dwarfed all others for decades, enabling a thriving ecosystem of weapons contractors, and a quarter-century of ill-begotten wars. If we want a different future, what are the steps we must take to tame the beast?
This webinar is part of an eight-week series this fall, highlighting policy proposals developed by more than 40 experts on the Game Changers: Economic Policies for a Working America, team. The Game Changers project offers 30 bold, new ideas to build a stronger, fairer, greener, and more inclusive economy for all Americans.
This event is co-sponsored by the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI), the Institute for Policy Studies, and the Costs of War. For more information, contact kweinstein@peri.umass.edu.
