Joseph Solis-Mullen exposes the great hoax of military Keynesianism, or the notion that "defense spending" translates into economic prosperity.

"As Washington exerts increasing control over the economy in the name of waging war and preparing to wage more, bragging for example about the apparent benefits accruing to American corporations and workers, resultant from helping fuel the fighting in Ukraine, arms sales to Israel, or the increasing militarization of the Taiwan Strait, it has never been more important to counter statist propaganda about the economic beneficence of war."
