Bankrolled by assurances from government agencies and contract infusions from the Pentagon brass, dependent Lockheed is a twisted model of traditional American "competitive free enterprise." The "perfect competition" of an Ec 10 problem set disappears into the power and reach of the corporate Goliath, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the defense industry...
