Donald Roy<p>There have been changes over my professional life in the treatment of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/militaryspending" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>militaryspending</span></a> in the system of national accounts. Originally it was regarded as collective/government <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/consumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>consumption</span></a> and thus current expenditure. At some stage - I think in the 1990s - much of it was reclassified as <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/investment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>investment</span></a> . This attracted less attention than the inclusion of some illegal activity which occurred at the same time. Classifying some <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/militaryexpenditure" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>militaryexpenditure</span></a> as investment could justify borrowing to do so !</p>
