    God I still remember the common knowledge in the 90's that a huge war would create an economic miracle :brainworms:

      It worked for the US specifically during right at the start at WW2 so Americans think it will apply in other contexts. The lesson they should have learned is that massive government spending works. Even the just the New Deal spending would have eventually fixed the Great Depression.

        yeah but the US had all that industry, it was just not able to use it because capitalism is inherently stupid.

        it was all there. the factories, the mines, the workers. nothing was bombed to shit.
