= Military-industrial complex
{wiki=Military–industrial_complex}
This is notably what the <United States> emerged to be after <World War II>. But it was likely what <Nazi Germany> also was, and many other superpowers.
<Ciro Santilli> feels that much more relevant would be to also include academia as in "military-industrial-academic" complex, the <Wikipedia> page actually mentions precedents to this idea.
The addition of congress/<politicians> is also relevant.
But hey, the name wouldn't sound so slick with three parts.
It is basically in this context that <American> science and technology flourished after <World War II>, including notably the development of <quantum electrodynamics>, <Richard Feynman> being a prototypical example, having previously worked on the <Manhattan Project>.
