During the years of the Cold War the military use of research and development reached a level unparalleled in history. According to the estimates of Colin Norman, a quarter of the global R & D expenditures was feeding the world’s military machine in the 1980s. Another similarly inaccurate calculation adds up global outlays for military R&D to some 100 billion dollars or 10% of the worldwide military expenditures.1 In the highly industrialised countries the greater part of these outlays were spent in industries as aerospace, electronics and components, instruments, electric machinery and advanced material. This led to a great demand for related equipment like machine tools which are frequently cited as an industry that has been harmed by military research and development projects.
