War and the Economy Workshop

This is a workshop about economic inequality, not about the morality of war & militarism. We see a cycle of concentrated wealth and concentrated power in the U.S. intensified by the emphasis on militarism.

Workshop goals:

1. Explore the impact of militarism on the US economy.

2. Examine the impact of war & militarism from race, gender, and class perspectives.

3. Demonstrate that war & militarism drain resources from basic family and community needs in general and from addressing the state budget crises in particular.
