My argument was that the belief about war being good for the economy is a fallacy — a variation of the Broken Window fallacy. On the surface, after a war there is a lot of economic activity - restoration requires huge investment - but, ultimately, it means running in place. It also means that the same capital and effort are NOT used for other, far more productive purposes. To prevent wars we need a thoughtful, effective way of addressing international grievances. Bullying, pushing around, calling crazy, trying to “regime change” — is not a method that will help preserve peace. Just noticed this rather powerful piece by Caroline Glick. She doesn’t like the unanimity and power of the world's reaction to Russian invasion (which, I’m convinced, was totally preventable). She’s afraid that this new Overton window of dealing with issues may some day turn against Israel, when some day they may have to defend themselves. israelhayom.com
