Vinson Debates Cost Plus Plans and Profit Rules
The speaker criticizes cost plus a percentage of profit and contrasts it with a fixed fee approach. He recalls World War I as a warning, arguing that profit tied to costs encourages waste, urging accountability and cost discipline under competitive conditions.
Rethinking War Contract Practices and Profit Rules
The author argues human nature influences war contract costs and notes the cost plus fixed fee system did not stop profiteering. Experience from 1917 1918 shows flaws, as cost plus a percentage of cost encourages excessive charges. With standardized costs and possible price wage controls, a move back to competitive contracting plus intelligent taxation could curb war profits without returning to prior failures.
