The Economic Effects of Disarmament: What will happen if Britain disarms?

This study, sponsored by the United World Trust, is the most detailed work to have been published on the results of disarmament on the British economy. It examines the consequences of the withdrawal of defence expenditures on industry and employment, and suggests how defence spending could be replaced in order to create new civil demand. The book provides precise and objective statistical analysis, which is much needed in this field. Both method and conclusions will be of interest in all countries to those concerned with public policy and the future of mankind.
