You know how when you're studying history, and you're reading along and everything seems safely in the past, and then BOOM you think, "Man, this suddenly seems very modern." For me, that moment in US History is the post-Reconstruction expansion of industrialism in America.

The Military-Industrial Complex
Shortly after becoming president, Dwight Eisenhower claimed that “every gun made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies theft from those who hunger and are not fed, are cold and not clothed.”
Eight years later, Eisenhower warned Americans to “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial complex,” which he defined as the “conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry.”
In the 1930s, Smedley Butler explained how the military subsidized private companies, but it wasn’t until the Second World War, Eisenhower noted, that America developed “a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.”
So how did this come about?

The Price of America’s New Factory Boom
America’s factory boom is bringing billion-dollar projects to tiny towns like Bryant County in Georgia where a 7.6 billion dollar Hyundai factory is about to transform the area. Across the US, spending on the construction of manufacturing facilities reached $198 billion on an annualized basis in August, an almost 66% increase from the previous year and the highest level since the Bureau of Economic Analysis began tracking the data in the 1950s.

#IndustrialRevolution #Factories #GildedAge #Documentary #History #Biography
Today's Daily Dose short history film covers the Industrial Revolution in America, which transformed the daily lives of Americans more than any other singular event in American history. The filmmaker has included the original voice over script to further assist your understanding:
Today on The Daily Dose, The Industrial Revolution in America.
Beginning in the later half of the 18th century before ballooning in scope after the American Civil War, the Industrial Revolution in the U.S. witnessed a shift in production and scale of goods from hand-crafted home-based businesses to machine-aided, assembly line production in factories, which transformed the daily lives of Americans more than any other singular event in American history.
Known as the father of the American Industrial Revolution, or Slater The Traitor to the British, in 1790, Samuel Slater brought British textile technology to the United States, helping to found the first U.S. cotton mill in Beverly Massachusetts followed by Pawtucket Rhode Island, leading to a concentrated rise in industrial development in the American northeast, which in turn sparked the development of transportation systems to facilitate a precipitous rise in commerce and trade. Other advances combined with Slater’s copycat technology before the divisions of the Civil War, included Robert Fulton’s steamboat service on the Hudson River, Samuel Morse’s invention of the telegraph and Elias Howe’s invention of the sewing machine. Following the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869, industrialization spread across the American landscape, moving people, raw materials and finished products throughout the nation’s growing interior, including the arrival of some 14 million European immigrants from 1860 to 1900 (see Ellis).
The 100-year Industrial Revolution also witnessed the rise of Gilded Age industrialists such as steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, oil tycoon John D. Rockefeller, financier J.P. Morgan and automaker Henry Ford, collectively earning the derogatory moniker “robber barons,” after they reaped obscene profits on the backs of unskilled, low-wage laborers who toiled in their factories, foundries and mills. Inventors such as Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison further accelerated the Industrial Revolution through the creation of new technologies that improved communication, transportation and industrial production techniques such as the advent of interchangeable parts. The period also witnessed a massive shift in worker demographics, as millions moved into fast-rising city slums that were unsanitary and dangerous at best. Factory working conditions were frequently filthy and hazardous for both working children and adults, where low wages and long hours eventually led to the Progressive Movement in the early 20th century, ushering in labor unions and an increase in federal and state regulations, making the Industrial Revolution in America, both a high and low water mark in American history.
And there you have it, the Industrial Revolution in America, today on The Daily Dose.

Shortly after becoming president, Dwight Eisenhower claimed that “every gun made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies theft from those who hunger and are not fed, are cold and not clothed.”
Eight years later, Eisenhower warned Americans to “guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial complex,” which he defined as the “conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry.”
In the 1930s, Smedley Butler explained how the military subsidized private companies, but it wasn’t until the Second World War, Eisenhower noted, that America developed “a permanent armaments industry of vast proportions.”
So how did this come about?
After Germany invaded Poland, President Franklin Roosevelt convinced Congress to approve his cash-and-carry program to sell arms to France and Britain. The following year, he replaced cash and carry with Lend-Lease, which “loaned” weapons to cash-strapped allies. Lend-Lease established the precedent of American subsidization of foreign armies.
Upon joining the war in 1941, the US government urged patriots to enlist in the “battle for production.” Propaganda reminded Americans that “production wins wars,” and heroic images of factory workers likened weapons manufacturing to military service.
FDR’s wartime policies mirrored his earlier New Deal, based on the ideas of economist John Maynard Keynes. During recessions, Keynes believed, governments should stimulate demand by printing money to spend on public works. FDR applied this formula to his New Deal programs, but after nine years, the economy remained in shambles.
The war allowed FDR to shift to what’s known as military Keynesianism. Because inflationary military spending artificially boosts GDP (gross domestic product) and military enlistment reduces unemployment, military Keynesianism produced the wartime prosperity myth. Many people believe the war ended the Great Depression, despite the country’s facing shortages of basic goods, such as sugar and butter.
Eisenhower understood the problem. “The cost of one modern heavy bomber,” he said, could pay for thirty schools, two power plants, two hospitals, fifty miles of highway, or half a million bushels of wheat. But the arms industry had become a fixture of the American economy. In an early draft of his farewell address, Eisenhower described this as the “military-industrial-congressional complex.”
Political scientists call this the iron triangle of connected interests. Congress passes legislation to benefit an interest group—military contractors—in return for political support. The interest group lobbies Congress on behalf of a bureaucracy—the military establishment—in exchange for special treatment. And the bureaucracy received significant increases in its own funding to administer federal policy. This dynamic has resulted in annual military expenditures of $800 billion—that’s more than the next nine largest military budgets combined.
The military-industrial complex made America the de facto arms dealer for the world, and the US military presence grew to having seven hundred military bases across eighty countries. The military-industrial complex also allowed America to fight a new kind of war by funneling weapons to foreign soldiers to fight what are known as proxy wars.

But the arms industry had become a fixture of the American economy. In an early draft of his farewell address, Eisenhower described this as the “military-industrial-congressional complex.”
Political scientists call this the iron triangle of connected interests. Congress passes legislation to benefit an interest group—military contractors—in return for political support. The interest group lobbies Congress on behalf of a bureaucracy—the military establishment—in exchange for special treatment. And the bureaucracy received significant increases in its own funding to administer federal policy. This dynamic has resulted in annual military expenditures of $800 billion—that’s more than the next nine largest military budgets combined.
The military-industrial complex made America the de facto arms dealer for the world, and the US military presence grew to having seven hundred military bases across eighty countries. The military-industrial complex also allowed America to fight a new kind of war by funneling weapons to foreign soldiers to fight what are known as proxy wars.

America’s factory boom is bringing billion-dollar projects to tiny towns like Bryant County in Georgia where a 7.6 billion dollar Hyundai factory is about to transform the area. Across the US, spending on the construction of manufacturing facilities reached $198 billion on an annualized basis in August, an almost 66% increase from the previous year and the highest level since the Bureau of Economic Analysis began tracking the data in the 1950s.

Who Rules America: The Rise of the Military-Industrial Complex | Big Corporations | ENDEVR Documentary from 2012
Episode 3 - The corporate takeover and the rise of the military-industrial complex.
Who Rules America? takes a comprehensive look into the governing system of the United States of America and reveals the behind-the-scene powers that rule the nation. There are two Americas; one in which people have freedom in choosing their leaders within the framework of the constitution living in the land of the free, and another, wherein all is dedicated to the ruling 1% and within which a hidden network of power governs including the media, Wall Street , the Military and Corporations. This expose from Danny Schechter (In Debt We Trust, WMD: Weapons on Mass Deception) lifts the lid on the true decision-makers behind the world's self-proclaimed democratic role model.
