HOENIGER, ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE OF THE GERMAN ARMED SERVICES

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! | |
