Paper Summary:

This essay studies the multiple economic effects of the United States' war on Iraq.

From the Paper:

"The timing might be coincidental, or it might not be. Either way, the economy of the United States has reached its lowest depths in years at the same time that its current, conservative, wealthy administration has decided to wage war in the Middle East, specifically on Iraq. With the stock market unsteady, the dollar valued poorly against other international currencies, fuel and energy prices reaching outrageous all-time highs, the national deficit going from balanced to a debt in the billions or trillions, and the defense industry one of the only industries that is booming, it is necessary to look at how this war has affected and effected the U.S. economy."
