Military-Industrial Complex
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex." - Dwight D. Eisenhower

Military-Industrial Complex, the perceived relationship between government and defence, was the phrase used by outgoing American President Dwight D. Eisenhower warning against the dangerous partnership due to the "potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power". The concept rings through today as defence powerhouses continue to grow in influence and governments continue to spend in their march towards war.
