micro ecomo,ics freshman level
Please research the topic of the “military-industrial complex” and watch the farewell address speech given by former President Dwight Eisenhower. He cautioned the American public about the potential perils of expanded military spending in our economy and how it can affect even our “spiritual” sentiments.
For this assignment, please write a 2-3 page essay summarizing this topic. Include 1) what is the military-industrial complex? 2) what are some of the “grave implications” that Eisenhower discussed in his address? and 3) give your own perspective on the overall challenges the military-industrial complex poses for America and how society could or should ideally balance military and civilian expenditures in your view.
Please submit your paper in Moodle using only WORD or PDF format (Times New Roman, 12-pt font, double spaced). Do not submit a paper in PAGES format or in any other format as your instructor will be unable to read it and thus it will not be accepted.
Please mind the due date indicated in Moodle and be on time!
