“Q: Do you see the tax dollars spent on a war and then on reconstruction after as an example?”
As I’ve said to libertarians for a few decades now, much to their disapproval, war is just another business and political operation that is the ultimate form of entrepreneurship, and it is either profitable or not. If it’s profitable, it’s usually VERY profitable. If it’s not, then it’s usually very NOT profitable. 😉
It is very hard to make a case against conducting and winning a war. And yes, most beneficial reorganization and increase in investment occurs after wars, because *wars disrupt the existing set of networks of economic dependence* giving rise to new possible networks that would not have been possible without the opportunity for reorganization.
This comes of as ‘war is good’. When the answer is Machiavelli’s: war is a business like any other not moral question and moral questions must be left out of war whether defensive or offensive, lest you fail for having done so.
