The U.S. nuclear weapons complex: Pushing for a new production capability
Greg Mello. Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 20 March 2008.
http://www.thebulletin.org/web-edition/features/the-us-nuclear-weapons-complex-pushing-a-new-production-capability
Excerpt:
Nuclear weapons infrastructure investments that require large, long-term commitments of capital and skilled technical labor–scarce resources in any country–are good indicators of national nuclear intent. In other words, infrastructure investments make, and are, nuclear policy.
Editor’s Comment:
Fundamental to any good policy analysis is “following the money”. It may not tell the whole story, but money is always an important part of the story. For more on money, policy, and strategy see collection of posts tagged “Budget“.
