Porkopolis Economics covers macroeconomics, money, and sports from the creator of the Crypto Voices podcast, Matthew Mezinskis.

In this episode, Matthew concludes his series on military expenditures by exploring per capita spending across major nations, using data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. He highlights the discrepancies between global powers like the United States, China, and Russia, as well as smaller yet militarized nations like Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Norway.
Focusing on 2023 figures and 20-year averages, the discussion reveals insights into how nations prioritize defense spending relative to their population. Notable outliers include Israel surpassing the United States in 2023 per capita spend and Eastern European countries significantly increasing their allocations amidst geopolitical tensions.
