Money Talks: A shot in the arms

Subscribers Only
Money Talks from The Economist
For decades fat defence contracts in America and Europe have been shared between a small number of giant contractors. But changes in geopolitics, warfare and technology are bringing scrappy new firms into the sector, determined to shake up the way governments buy weapons. Hosts: Tom Lee-Devlin, Alice Fulwood and Mike Bird. Guests: Steven Grundman from the Atlantic Council, a think-tank, and Brian Schimpf, co-founder of Anduril, a defence startup.
