1. Here's the backstory on what Elizabeth Warren is saying and why it's so important. First let's start by noting policy about how big a military we need is different than how to organize the industrial policy behind it. Warren here is discussing industrial policy.
Elizabeth Warren
@SenWarren24 Feb 2023
In the 1990s, America had 51 major contractors bidding for defense work. Today, there are only five massive companies remaining. Defense contracting should be reworked to break up the massive contracts awarded to the big guys and create opportunities for firms of all sizes.

This was way more fun than a podcast ought to be. @ProfMarkWilson & I enjoyed talking ideology, capitalism, and the military, both in the past and today w/ Danny. And from Derek -- the big looming question at the end - are we headed toward a fully privatized military?
American Prestige@AmPrestigePod29 Nov 2022
Danny and Derek speak to @MittelstadtJen and Mark Wilson about their edited volume "The Military and the Market". They get into the history of military-market relations dating back to the founding of the United States and where they stand today. americanprestigepod.com/p/e7…

"[P]eople with military records — like any other diverse group — have complex and varied histories and activist identities. Acknowledging the multiplicity of veterans’ advocacy efforts is crucial," writes Jessica L. Adler. washingtonpost.com/made-by-h…

Perspective | The activism of military veterans spans the political spectrum

Veterans may be overrepresented among Jan. 6, 2021 participants — but no one activist ideology encompasses all veterans.

Many thanks to the editors @madebyhistory and @washingtonpost for the opportunity to circle back to some of my historical research on excess profits taxes. Got great advice on the piece from @LifeAtPurdue Hist Prof Katie Brownell and as always from @TaxNotes @jthorndike.

"Regardless of whether they are called “windfall” or “excess” profit taxes, these levies have had a mixed historical record...Understanding their promise and limits can help mitigate potential challenges." @AjayKMehrotra washingtonpost.com/made-by-h…

Perspective | Windfall profit taxes have benefits. But the devil is in the details.

In times of crisis, the U.S. government has taxed excess profits — with mixed results.
