Planning for Peace: The Surplus Property Act of 1944
研究了1944年剩余财产法案在处置战争剩余物资时设定的社会目标,特别是惠及小企业和减少经济集中,发现这些目标更应视为战时动员的一部分而非和平复员,且实现成本高昂。
The Surplus Property Act of 1944 established several social objectives for the disposal of war surplus. In particular, small business was to be benefited; concentration was to be reduced. Such objectives are better considered as part of the war mobilization rather than the peacetime reconversion. While suggesting that concentration was not reduced, the evidence also suggests that concentration is not an inevitable consequence of war. Social objectives can be incorporated into war mobilization, but their realization involves a substantially higher cost.
