Arms, Revenue, and Entitlements: U.S. Deficits in the Cold War, 1945-1991 explores how defense, tax, and entitlement policies caused the U.S. government to become deficit normative during the Cold War era, arguing that only a comprehensive program can rein in deficits in the twenty-first century.

This book argues that monetary side policies focused on spurring GDP growth and output offer an alternative to more conventional supply and demand side approaches. These policies are an extension of central banking, which has developed for over a century in the United States.
