The Case Against Privatizing National Security
Since the mid‐1990s, the U.S. Pentagon has accelerated efforts to outsource weapons, battlefield and base support operations, and troop training, invoking competition‐based savings and better quality. I review the arguments for and against such privatization and summarize recent Pentagon outsourcing experience. I conclude that the current enthusiasm for privatization is driven largely by commercial concerns and lobbying rather than real gains to …

Dismantling the Cold War Economy
Defense Spending and Interregional Labor Migration
The impact of defense-related industry on labor migration within the United States is analyzed using census data for the period 1975-1980. The results "suggest that workers follow jobs in the defense industry, rather than vice versa, and indicate that a process of defense-related regional labor pool formation, amplified by interstate migration, adds to the volume of interregional labor flows."
The Rise Of The Gunbelt: The Military Remapping of Industrial America
Since World War II, America’s economic landscape has undergone a profound transformation. This economic restructuring, the authors argue, is a direct result of the rise of the military industrial complex (MIC) and the formation of a new industry based on defence spending and Pentagon contracts. This book chronicles the dramatic growth of this vast complex.
Planning for Industrial Decline: Lessons from Steel Communities
Economic development planning has weaker tools than does land use planning and is hampered by a great deal of analytical and normative conflict. This paper reviews the causes and remedies of industrial decline in the steel industry. At least eight different causal explanations of steel job loss have been offered, and diverse normative objectives have been invoked. This research exam ines the intergovernmental issues and the politics involved in a…

Contemporary Marxist Theory and Practice: A Feminist Critique
Both Marxist theory and practice continue to ignore, for the most part, recent developments in feminist theory and practice. Feminist theory chal lenges a definition of production as narrowly confined to the production of com modities that is commonly used in much Marxist literature, examines the pro duction and reproduction of people under patriarchal relations, and focuses on the conflicts that arise between women and men because of their diffe…

Class, Rent, and Sectoral Conflict: Uneven Development in Western U.S. Boomtowns
Western U.S. boomtowns accompanying energy production are a form of capitalist uneven development. The complexity of local boomtown struggles arises from traditional class composition, from sectoral competition, and from the potential appropriation of rent within regionally specific political and cultural institutions. The paper charts potential class alliances within and across regions, given the strength of various features of the development p…
The Economics of the Women's Movement
The most significant economic frontier facing American women in the twentieth century lies at the doorstep of the American household. The emergence of women from the domestic workplace into the labor force as permanent wage earners continues to place severe pressures on the basic economic institutions of society and on the tolerance of women for traditional doctrines about women's economic capabilities and legitimate workplace. This paper, dedica…
