Summary

This quote emphasizes how the economy of our nation is heavily reliant on the production and sale of weapons. It suggests that this dependence is perpetuated by a state-induced mindset of constant war fear and propaganda. The quote implies that this artificially created atmosphere of paranoia and militarization fuels the demand for weapons and, consequently, boosts the arms industry's growth. It brings attention to the potential negative consequences of such dependency, both in terms of the economy and the social impact it has on our society.
