As the world transitions to a peacetime economy, one question is what happens to standing armies. Currently, the US spends a trillion dollars per year on its military. Imagine what would happen if this money were spent instead on schools, open source microfactories, and other life-giving infrastructure.

Once the microfactory and Civilization in a Box is ready to be replicated inexpensively anywhere in the world, that is a negotiating point for beginning to covert weaponry to livingry, in Buckminster Fuller's terms.
