“What jumps out at you from the data concerning war is very simplistic – war does not unfold when everyone is fat and happy.
Turn the economy down and war rises just as we are seeing wide-scale civil unrest.
These trends go hand in hand.
Government often NEEDS war because when the people get angry, they go after government.
In self-defense, government ALWAYS needs to blame some other country or group.”
