YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLast weekend, the Foundation for American Innovation flew The Realignment out to the Reagan Defense Forum for a series of interviews covering the intersection of national security, technology, and foreign policy.

They discuss why the post-Cold War "Last Supper" and peace dividend led to a financialized and over-consolidated military-industrial-complex, the current lack of a pre-WWII style mobilization of industry, and the need for "founders" in the mold of those who led the U.S. to victory in WWII and the Cold War.
