But war does not produce the civilian goods that we as consumers need to build prosperity. War favors a small parasitic caste, which we can identify very well today when we look at the military complex that is currently firing up in various hot spots of geopolitics.
I realize this. I am not saying war helps people and the economy. People are grasping that they are left holding the bag while others get rich. All risk and no reward for the poorer folk.
