War is good for business - 34th Rule of Acquisition (Ferengi, Star Trek)

• titzer 8y ago
  Well, war is good for the war racket, but generally not good for trade in the vast majority of other goods.

    Globalization is in full swing drastically more than it was during large-scale wartime. Hard to imagine a world war happening in that context

      Not in the current context, but imagine darker world, people pushed into poverty, starvation, desperation. Dictatorships, people like Trump would be fondly remembered for their friendly and kind policies. There are no limits how dark things can potentially get.

      Right before world war I, globalization was peaking and people also thought that large scale war was impossible because of it.

    You're thinking of the 35th Rule of Acquisition - Peace is good for business.
