	The National Defense Myth by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
		The National Defense Myth by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.
		If public provision of defense is to be replaced by private – and this volume convincingly shows that it should – the argument must begin.
		We need government to do it because defense is a "public good," something the market can't provide for a variety of convoluted reasons (free rider problems, non-excludability, high cost, etc.).

	Grandfather National Security Report - defense spending - by MWHodges
		defense spending as a share of our economy is at a 60-year low, as the federal government continues to look for funding sources to cover spending and debate things that were not included in the four (4) principal reasons for forming a federal government - - number 1 being National Defense.
		At this time, defense spending, as a share of national income, is way down - - and government spending for non-defense (social stuff) has eaten all the draw-down - - so defense 'savings' have not been returned to the private sector so they can again be 'borrowed' again in the future.
		The defense ratio rose 2 points, to 8%, during the Reagan-Bush era to finance a dramatic face-down of the Soviet Union and thereby close-out the 5 decade cold war.
