The Three Trillion Dollar War

The book The Three Trillion Dollar War written by Stiglitz and Bilmes is outstanding. Professor Joseph Stiglitz in a winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics. This book is an effort on the part of two of America’s finest economists to get beyond the intentionally murky accounting of the government to try and determine the true cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

America has now spent more money on these wars in Iraq and Afghanisten than on WWI, Korea, or Vietnam. American soldiers have now been at war longer than in WWI, Korea, or WWII.

I rate this book a rock solid 10.
