Sinopsis

Fregatte Cost Breakdown examines the economics and politics of a proposed 100 billion kroner frigate program, questioning whether a nation can truly afford its defense spending. It highlights the critical concepts of defense economics and strategic budgeting, emphasizing the need to understand both direct and indirect costs, including opportunity costs. The book argues for a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis that extends beyond the initial procurement price, considering the impact on sectors like education and healthcare.

 
The book progresses by first laying the theoretical groundwork of defense economics. It then dissects the frigate program's budget, comparing it to similar programs and the F-35 procurement, scrutinizing the strategic rationale behind it. Finally, it evaluates the opportunity costs by modeling alternative investments and their potential impact on the economy and national security. The analysis relies on government reports, budget documents, and comparative data, offering a balanced assessment of the program's costs and benefits.

 
This book is unique in its emphasis on transparency and accountability in defense spending. It challenges the conventional deference to military expertise without rigorous economic justification, providing a framework for informed citizens, policymakers, and defense professionals to evaluate the true cost of military hardware and hold governments accountable for defense spending decisions.
