Professor Dr. Robert Hoeniger: Economic Significance of the German Armed Services, Leipzig, 1913. (Gehe-Stiftung Lectures, Vol. V, Part 2.)

Banalities of a pro-militarist who seeks to prove that military expenditure is not a loss, for the money remains in the country and yields vast profits, that military service educates, strengthens, etc., etc. |

A characteristic quotation:
|
...“The deputy Erzberger told the Reichstag (April 24, 1912): ‘If the Minister of War were to satisfy all the requests for garrisons addressed to the War Department, he would have to ask for military appropriations six times as large’”(p.18). |

The petty bourgeoisie gains in all sorts of ways from garrisons. One of the reasons why militarism is popular! |
