As is well known, social welfare state institutions started to develop in the 20th century. The state was making defense expenditures before it started making social expenditures. Defense expenditures had similar effects on employment and economic growth. Therefore I would like to ask that did Keynesianism develop through welfare state institutions or can defence spendings also be considered an element of Keynesianism?
