| Abstract: | Although defence is a classic example of a public good, there are extensive opportunities for applying market solutions to the armed forces and defence industries. There are possibilities for beneficial inter-service rivalry and for creating profit centres within the armed forces; substitution is possible between parts of the armed forces; and competition can be used for purchasing weapons and for market-testing activities traditionally undertaken "in-house" by the armed forces. |
