Behind every modern American war
lies another front line
most people never see:

the war economy.

This episode follows
the money trail
behind America’s conflicts,
from World War II
to the Cold War
and into the age
of permanent military spending.

We explore:

how the “arsenal of democracy”
turned emergency mobilization
into an industrial boom,

how the Cold War
transformed temporary buildup
into a permanent military–industrial complex,

how defense contracts, cost-plus pricing,
lobbying and the revolving door
create stable profit streams,

and how the global dollar system
helps finance
large, long-lasting defense budgets.

We also ask
who pays the real bill:

taxpayers,
future generations,
and civilians abroad
caught in the path
of policies
shaped partly
by security
and partly
by economic interests.

Finally,
we offer a way
to read today’s headlines differently:

not just as stories
of enemies and allies,
but as stories
of budgets, contracts
and incentives.

If you’ve ever suspected
that some people
seem to profit
from every crisis,
this is how
the war economy
makes that possible.
