We came out of the Depression after WW2 because we ended numerous interventions in the economy, deregulated some things, etc. It was due to the return to normalcy, and the recovery happened in spite of the war, not because of it.
Wars cannot be productive, particularly the sort of wars America gets into where it’s one big favor for colonial powers & financiers we should rightfully hate and then we rebuild our enemies for no reason.
“War prosperity is like the prosperity that an earthquake or a plague brings.” - von Mises
