Abstract

The German Historical School analysed the war not as a burden, but as a development factor. The war made it possible to create large markets, to build up fortunes, to develop competition and the financial sector, and to seek profit. It is the economy that runs the state, not the other way around. War is an instrument for fighting inertia. It enables mass production and accelerates technical progress and innovation. Many economists will dispute this analysis. For Keynes, war is also a mismanagement of the economy. D. Galbraith wonders about the springs of war, which stabilizes governments in the face of international tensions and allows an economic policy of stability War is inevitable if industrial competition is not controlled. The purpose of empires is not war, but peace that ensures its stability.
