I have a course on global security and I have to write an essay on the economics of government outsourcing military or security. So I wanted to ask if you could recommend articles on government outsourcing in general because I know that when government merely subcontracts it is not the same as a free market. My teacher remarked that this outsourcing lead to higher spending which he saw as a strike against free market ideology. So is there some theory that could help make sense of what happens when a government subcontracts?
