They say to “never let a crisis go to waste,” but does that include war? Embodied in characters like “Daddy Warbucks” from the musical Annie, war profiteering has been an integral part of American history since the Civil War. In this episode, Mary, Gary, and Eryn discuss the history of war profiteering and its implications today. What is the difference between supporting a war effort and profiting from it? What challenges does this age-old business pose to democracy?
BRI's Fabric of History Podcast explores the rich past of American history, diving into some of the most iconic figures and movements of our republic’s past. Discover an America beyond the textbook, as hosts Mary, Gary, and Eryn explore some of the most interesting portions of our nation’s heritage.
