Subject. The article investigates the systemic crisis of the neoliberal market model and the role of military spending in the Russian economy development. Objectives. The focus is on critical analysis of the current system of national accounts, criteria and parameters for assessing the economic growth. Methods. The study employs methods of statistical and military-economic analysis. Results. The paper shows that the gross domestic product does not reflect the level of economic development of the country, since it does not take into account the results obtained at the intermediate stages of production. Conclusions. If considered, the findings will enable to improve the quality of military-political and macroeconomic forecasting.
Keywords: military economy, military spending, gross domestic product, military-economic efficiency, strategic military and socio-economic planning
