Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to provide an evaluation of the actual costs of defence spending in terms of the utilisation of resources. We shall be mainly concerned with the internal aspects of defence, that is, the repercussions of domestic military spending upon the domestic economy. This emphasis will be reversed in the following chapter, however, which examines the ‘external’ aspects, those involving international defence expenditures.
