Fantastic work by the team on the most recent military expenditure data and report. Made it to the attention of the SG of the UN. Great team and working for an important cause! :) @SIPRIorg @dielopesilva @Xiaoo_l Lorenzo

At a time when we see rising hunger, growing poverty & a lack of financing to address the climate crisis, it's shocking to see military expenditure reaching an unprecedented high—$2443 billion in 2023, according to @SIPRIorg It's time to stop running towards mutual destruction.

As more countries announce increases in military spending, a key question is how these Increases will be funded. My coauthors @dielopesilva @xiaoo_l and I explore the role of taxes, specifically indirect tax and its link to military spending. @SIPRIorg doi.org/10.55163/XLEJ7…
