#militaryexpenditure

There have been changes over my professional life in the treatment of #militaryspending in the system of national accounts. Originally it was regarded as collective/government #consumption and thus current expenditure. At some stage - I think in the 1990s - much of it was reclassified as #investment . This attracted less attention than the inclusion of some illegal activity which occurred at the same time. Classifying some #militaryexpenditure as investment could justify borrowing to do so !
