Every major war in the last century made someone obscenely rich-and it wasn't the soldiers.
The Profit Machine exposes the shocking truth about how America's most respected corporations-from DuPont and General Motors to Lockheed Martin and Raytheon-transformed human suffering into Wall Street's most lucrative business model. This explosive work of investigative journalism reveals the century-long pattern of war profiteering that continues to shape global conflicts, from World War I's gunpowder fortunes to today's $2.4 trillion defense industry.
Author Michael Rodriguez meticulously traces how the military industrial complex evolved from WWI opportunism into a permanent war economy that thrives regardless of victory or defeat. Through declassified documents and corporate records, he exposes American companies that armed Nazi Germany, banks that financed both sides of wars, and defense contractors whose lobbying budgets now dictate foreign policy. You'll discover how the F-35 program strategically spread across 300 congressional districts to become politically unkillable, why the "War on Terror" became the most profitable conflict in history despite achieving nothing, and how defense industry revolving doors ensure perpetual war remains America's biggest export.
This isn't conspiracy theory-it's documented economic history that mainstream media won't touch. If you've ever questioned why wars never end, why defense budgets only grow, or who actually profits when nations fight, this book provides the uncomfortable answers. Perfect for readers of economic analysis, political corruption exposes, and anyone seeking to understand the corporate greed driving modern warfare.
The profit machine can only continue if we stay silent. Read this book. Share the truth. Break the cycle.
