More than 30 years ago, the United States deliberately scaled back its defense industry. Today, as NATO countries surge defense spending, the West is at risk of hitting an economic roadblock. When more money chases a restricted supply of goods, prices go up but production stays relatively flat. This video looks at a solution: the civilian manufacturing industry.
