[...]Bertram raises incisive queries about the limitations of economic reliance as an explanation for defense spending, and whether the concept is generalizable to other policy realms. [...]evidence suggests that rural reliance on prison infrastructure heightens political support for punitive sentencing laws and militates against criminal justice reforms (Rebecca U. Thorpe, “Perverse Politics,” Perspectives on Politics, 13(3), 2015). [...]perhaps most crucially, are there viable political reforms that might help fortify Congress’s prerogatives and restrain executive independence in matters concerning warfare?
