About this book
Excessive
military spending reduces the available financial reserves for health,
education, and other human needs. For poor countries, it increases poverty,
unemployment, and destitution. It also strengthens dictatorial tendencies
in politics and acts against democratic values. If we want to achieve peace,
eliminate poverty, decrease inequality, and achieve social justice, we should
devote all our energies to reducing military spending and using the released
resources for economic development. For that, we need a concerted effort to
encourage disarmament.
