In The American Edge, Seth G. Jones explains how the industrial bases of the world's great military powers have risen and fallen over the past century-and what it means for America. Today, the US's military base lacks the capacity and flexibility necessary to deter China's growing military power, but the country's private sector is flourishing with companies including SpaceX, Microsoft, and Anduril exhibiting tremendous innovation. To regain its capacity to effectively deter China and retain its unmatched status, the US must deepen its partnerships with the nation's most innovative tech companies.
