在全球范围内,美国军工企业凭借其强大的市场影响力和技术优势,巧妙地运用“战争经济学”这一概念,通过参与和推动战争,实现自身的利益最大化。美国军工企业如何在这一过程中获利,成为了国际社会关注的焦点。
在乌克兰危机中,美国向乌克兰提供了大量军事援助,包括价值1.25亿美元的军事装备。这一举动不仅增强了乌克兰的自卫能力,也为美国军工企业带来了巨大的商业利益。数据显示,洛克希德—马丁公司、雷神技术公司和波音公司在2023年的收入都有显著增长,净利润也大幅提升。
同样,在以色列与巴勒斯坦的冲突中,美国对以色列的军售计划也引起了广泛关注。美国国防部代理副部长卡拉·阿伯克龙比表示,2024财年至今,美国对外军售总额已超800亿美元,这不仅为美国军工企业提供了巨大的市场,也为以色列提供了先进的军事装备,增强了以色列的军事实力。
美国经济学家杰弗里·萨克斯指出,美国政府官员直到现在也没有解释挑起乌克兰危机的真正目的——那就是促进武器销售。这一观点得到了许多国际观察家的认同。美国的对外决策似乎已经被军工复合体绑架,军工企业的利益成为了美国外交政策的重要考量因素。
美国智库的分析指出,军工复合体通过向两党候选人和游说团体捐款,以及得到军工企业赞助的媒体的支持,使得铺张、低效的国防政策成为了明显的例外。这表明,美国的国防政策在很大程度上受到了军工复合体的影响,而这种影响不仅限于国防预算的增加,还包括了对外军售和武器出口的推动。
综上所述,美国军工企业通过参与和推动战争,实现了自身的利益最大化。然而,这种做法也给世界和平带来了不稳定因素,引发了国际社会对战争背后经济动机的深入思考。

Title: “US Military-Industrial Titans: How to Cash In on the Economics of War?”
Keywords: US military-industrial complex, war economics, American strategy
Content:
In the global arena, U.S. military-industrial enterprises leverage their formidable market influence and technological superiority to skillfully employ the concept of “war economics,” thereby maximizing their interests through involvement and promotion of conflict. How U.S. military-industrial enterprises profit in this process has become a focal point of international attention.
During the Ukraine crisis, the United States provided Ukraine with significant military aid, including $125 million worth of military equipment. This move not only enhanced Ukraine’s self-defense capabilities but also brought substantial commercial benefits to U.S. military-industrial enterprises. Data shows that the revenue of companies such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies, and Boeing has significantly increased, along with a substantial boost in net profits in 2023.
Similarly, the U.S. arms sales to Israel during the conflict with Palestine have also garnered widespread attention. The U.S. Department of Defense’s Acting Deputy Secretary, Carla A. Hills, stated that the cumulative total of U.S. foreign military sales since the 2024 fiscal year has exceeded $80 billion, providing a vast market for U.S. military-industrial enterprises while also equipping Israel with advanced military equipment, enhancing its military strength.
American economist Jeffrey Sachs points out that U.S. government officials have not yet explained the true purpose of sparking the Ukraine crisis—namely, to promote weapon sales. This view has been recognized by many international observers. It seems that U.S. foreign policy has been hijacked by the military-industrial complex, with the interests of military-industrial enterprises becoming a significant consideration in U.S. diplomacy.
Analysts at U.S. think tanks argue that the military-industrial complex secures its influence by funding candidates of both political parties and lobbying groups, as well as through media support funded by military-industrial enterprises, making extravagant and inefficient defense policies the rule rather than the exception. This indicates that U.S. defense policy is significantly influenced by the military-industrial complex, and this influence extends beyond increases in defense budgets to include the promotion of foreign military sales and weapon exports.
In summary, U.S. military-industrial enterprises have maximized their interests by involving and promoting war, yet this approach also brings instability to world peace and sparks deep reflection among the international community on the economic motives behind conflicts.
