Produktbeschreibung
The defense industry is a global enterprise - one dominated by the United States of America. Critics have claimed that contractors within the US defense industry are acting as powerful political entities instead of dutiful agents - not taking environmental and social responsibility and participating in an unhampered distribution of weapons where the goal is to maximize profits while neglecting any ethical responsibility.

More precisely, I uncover the frames utilized by Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin in their non-economic reports to defend or legitimize their operations and existence.
