Total War Economy

A Total War Economy refers to the comprehensive mobilization of a nation's resources—such as factories, agriculture, and labor—to support a large-scale military effort. It involves directing economic activity towards producing weapons, supplies, and transportation to sustain prolonged warfare. This approach often requires rationing, increased government control, and prioritization of war-related industries. The goal is to ensure that a nation's economy can efficiently support a significant military campaign without collapsing under the strain. In essence, it’s about aligning economic functions with wartime needs to maximize military capacity and resilience.
