Since World War II America s economic landscape has undergone a profound transformation. The effects of this change can be seen in the decline of the traditional industrial heartland and the emergence of new high tech industrial complexes in California Texas Boston and Florida. The Rise of the Gunbelt demonstrates that this economic restructuring is a direct result of the rise of the military industrial complex (MIC) and a wholly new industry based on defense spending and Pentagon contacts. Chronicling the dramatic growth of this vast complex the authors analyze the roles played by the shift from land and sea warfare to aerial combat in World War II the Cold War the birth of aerospace and the consequent radical transformation of the airplane industry and labor and major defense corporations such as Boeing Lockheed and McDonnell Douglas. Exploring the reasons for the shifts in defense spending–including the role of lobbyists and the Department of Defense in awarding contracts–and the effects on regional and national economic development this comprehensive study reveals the complexities of the MIC.
