The Spoils of War — Why failed wars keep funding the system
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Andrew Cockburn
This episode explores The Spoils of War by Andrew Cockburn as a systems-level analysis of how military procurement incentives, bureaucratic self-protection, and contractor profit influence behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how permanent war logic connects to larger political, financial, and cultural structures.
