US election special #1: The military industrial complex

The US government spends nearly $1 trillion on defense annually, more than the next eight countries combined. This spending fuels a military industrial complex with a network of nearly 800 bases around the globe, while employing millions of workers domestically. In this first episode of ourVoice’s special series on the US election, Aaron White and Freddie Stuart explore the influence of the military industrial complex on the US economy and foreign policy.
