Is war necessary for economic growth? :  military procurement and technology development/ 
Vernon W Ruttan 
 - New York :  Oxford University Press,  2006 
 - xi, 219 p. 
<br/><br/> Uses six different general purpose technologies to support the argument that without military applications these developments would have been slower or would not have taken place at all. Considers whether this trend will continue, whether alternative sources of development support will materialise, and whether major war will continue to be necessary to catalyse innovation.
