\"All For All" With R.J. EskowAll For All: "The War Complex II: An Anatomy of Control" By RJ EskowPart II of our discussion on the global “war complex,” which is broader and more intricate than the “military/industrial complex” as we have envisioned it. This complex encompasses media, finance, culture, and intellectual life—and it’s determined to destroy the social welfare state everywhere. The good news? We know it can be defeated.
