The Racket of War More often than not, war is fomented to benefit very few at the expense of very many. While remaining safely at home, swivel-chair insiders provoke wars to amass huge fortunes for themselves. Because of it, Bethlehem Steel (munitions), US Steel, Anaconda and Utah Copper, Central Leather, International Nickel Company, American Sugar Refining Company, etc. doubled and tripled profits – at times, overselling or selling defective products that end up warehoused and eventually scrapped. Understandably, General Dwight Eisenhower warned against the Military-Industrial Complex. Justifying wartime profit motive is a tough needle to thread. In Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, Anthony Sutton documented how U.S. corporations helped build the Nazi war machine. Similarly, James and Suzanne Pool revealed Henry Fords hands-on support for Hitler. Simply said, war is a racket.
