I believe we saw the prospect of non-war based prosperity during the dotcom explosion of the late '90's. Innovation of any kind with rational expectations vs the "get rich quick" schemes of that period, could very well replace the "military/industrial complex" that Eisenhower warned us of.

There are so many immediate challenges that we face as a nation, and opportunities for innovation that could have global value. My doubt lies in the resistance that the folks invested in the status quo would bring to bear.
