Can you give a cite for "most wars and social upheavals are caused by people starving"?

At least in the US, I don't think that's the case. All our 20th cen wars were for various political reasons, our revolutions for philosophical reasons, etc.

Also, am I correct in thinking your reasoning is as follows..

- War or social upheaval causes increase in demand (war) or decrease in supply (upheaval)
- since P ~ d/s, either causes increase in price
