How much is military Keynesianism an artifact of World War II technology? Back then military hardware took a good number of blue-collar workers produce. Factories were spread about. Today, the labor component (even including the technical personnel) is relatively small. In addition, the factories are not as evenly spread out. Finally, with an open economy, more and more of the buying power will spill over into imports. Rather than seeing cruise missile diplomacy as a reflection of military Keynesianism, doesn't it make more sense to see it has a way of building corporate support? -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chico, CA 95929 530-898-5321 fax 530-898-5901
