Sankar: Defense specialist spending rose from 6% in 1989 to 86% today
“In 1989, only six percent of spending on major weapon systems went to defense specialists, i.e. Companies that were exclusively in the business of defense. That's not that long ago. That's when the Berlin Wall still stood. Now that number is 86%.”
