 Effect of Wars to
Macroeconomics
Government spending rises, but consumption and investment flat

Reduce Unemployment and Redistribution of Wealth

In each case, taxpayers have been burdened, and private sector

consumption and investment have been constrained as a result

Larger budget deficits, higher taxes, and growth above trend leading
to inflation pressure.

Regardless of the way a war is financed, the overall macroeconomic

effect on the economy tends to be negative.
 Moral Lesson

Even after weighting the economic effects, the humanitarian

costs of war are just too big
Many of American Wars weren’t fought in USA soil so the
impact only affecting 1 country

If the result of Wars are peace talk and negotiation, maybe we should do talk and negotiation from the very
beginning
