DESCRIPTION:We argue that the Cold War contributed to the equitable and tig
 ht U.S. labor markets of the post-war decades. On the labor-demand side\, w
 e isolate plausibly exogenous shifts in military procurement composition fr
 om “hot” wars or shifts in military weapons systems. Overall\, we estim
 ate that the 1950s-to-1990s decline in defense production (from 5.6 to 1.8 
 percent of annual GDP) explains a significant share of the decline in manuf
 ac- turing employment and the rise of top-ten income share. On the labor-su
 pply side\, the Cold-War-era draft removed millions of young men from the c
 ivilian labor force\, even in peacetime. We estimate that the end of the dr
 aft in 1973 can explain nearly 80 percent of the rise in male age 18-24 une
 mployment over the next ten years. We then argue that the Cold War produced
  a working-class voting bloc in support of hawkish military policy and incr
 ease military spending. In the peak of the Cold War in the 1950s\, we find 
 that union members and residents of states receiving defense contracts diff
 erentially support both military intervention and greater government spendi
 ng on the military. In particular\, Democratic voters—overwhelmingly more
  working-class than Republicans at this time—were significantly more like
 ly to support military intervention and spending than other voters\, in str
 ong contrast to voters for left and center-left parties in Western democrac
 ies without a large military-industrial complex (UK\, France and Canada).\\
