79. Not necessarily
WWII pulled the world out of a global depression. A non-nuclear WWIII would probably create vast amounts of wealth by manufacturing weapons and achieving full employment with the prerequisite draft, and the subsequent labor shortage at home which would give well paying jobs to a very great many people. World Wars are truly the greatest economic engines that mankind has ever implemented, simply by the fact that everyone has a job. All of FDR's programs weren't able to end the Great Depression but WWII did. From the German standpoint, they did print money in the 1930's and it led to hyperinflation and the rise of Adolf Hitler. Who, salvaged the economy by....starting WWII.

War is good for business. Period. I think that is why BushCo is deliberately sabotaging the economy by destroying the middle class. Simply to start WWIII where they and their corporate masters can make more money than even they can dream of.
