“How High, Sir?”

Published on: March 28th, 2024

It is impossible to budget for the unknown. Incontrovertibly, a new “known known” has raised its ugly head. Defence spending is rising as a percentage of world GDP. A lot. Below we contextualise what “a lot” is and make some unsettling assumptions about both the sums of money involved and the strategic difficulty of re-imagining military capacity for C21. Peace dividend no more. Regrettably, grist to the mill of deglobalisation, oscillation and fiscal dominance.

Thanks for an excellent piece Julian. The path towards conscription is a no brainer for a Swede. But the the potential defense spending will be met with even more infrastrucure investments. The ripple effect on other industries open up great opportunity for investments.
