#Murphy points out the bleading obvious - not that I am criticising it, it needs to be repeated often for the hard of thinking. Death and destruction are NOT a sensible path to take to produce ‘growth’, in the short, medium or long terms.

#Growth means many things, from the blinkered `#GDP’ to money in the pockets of the already wealthy. It frequently doies not translate to better lives for peopl eor a better country to live in.

From the linked article a photograph off fires created bay bombing with the text

Conflict is good for an economy, they say – I'm not buying it

F you asked most economists whether war is good or bad for an economy, they would be unambiguous. War, they would argue, is good for an economy. The argument goes like this.
First, we employ very large numbers of people on quite high salaries to work out how to kill others, preferably in other countries.
Second, they argue, we have to employ a lot more people to then follow instructions to use these weapons to actually kill people, also preferably in other countries.
And then we have to spend a fortune treating the victims of war.

After that, we then have to spend another fortune, probably bigger than all the other costs put together, to clear up the mess afterwards.
What is more, they will say, given that our method of accounting for national income does not distinguish between those things which are beneficial to society and those things which are destructive, all of this contributes to GDP.

According to a new report by the independent Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), in the past five years, global arms deliveries have increased by almost 10% compared to the previous five-year period.

Europe has overtaken Asia and the Middle East as the largest importer of weapons, as fear of Russia increases on the continent.
