How should national security concerns alter our perception of what constitutes good economic policy? Survival: The Economic Underpinnings of American National Security introduces principles of national security thinking relevant to public policy, then illustrates application of these principles in a number of policy areas including fiscal policy, healthcare, education, immigration, welfare and poverty abatement, energy, and the environment.
This is a substantive treatise by an eminent academic, former economic adviser to Israel’s Ministry of Defense, and former combat engineer. In 12 chapters, Dr. Lipow has taken a somewhat dry and ominous-sounding subject, and turned it into an engrossing and enlightening read, with minimal algebraic equations.
