Pentagon capitalism: how the Cold War US military modeled itself on private business

ENGnewJan 2026

About this book

"Pentagon Capitalism traces the Cold War evolution of the US military into something resembling a for-profit corporation.

Seeking to manage an increasingly unwieldy military bureaucracy, defense leaders sought lessons from business consultants, imposed Taylorist discipline, turned officers into managers, and privatized ever more security functions."-- Provided by publisher.
