A new scholarly piece titled 'Standardizing Empire: The US Military, Korea, and the Origins of Military-Industrial Capitalism' argues that the US military's postwar presence in Korea laid foundations for global capitalism, enabling South Korea's celebrated 'economic miracle' while contributing to the erosion of American industrial power. The argument links military logistics, standardization and procurement to the rise of military-industrial capitalism, drawing fresh attention to Korea's central but often overlooked role in that history.
Why now: Readers are engaging with a revisionist economic-history argument connecting US militarism, South Korea's development and America's industrial decline.
