Abstract

The article "More Guns, Less Butter: The Evolution of National Security" explores how US President Franklin Roosevelt played a key role in shaping the concept of national security and the national security state. It discusses the intersection of domestic and international policies, highlighting the debates between liberals and conservatives that influenced the meaning of national security. The text also delves into how the conservative persuasion campaign in the 1930s and 1940s led to a separation between national security and welfare states, impacting US economic and defense priorities.
