Umm i dont really agree with any of what youre saying, firstly you have to look at the broader picture and not only the gains of a couple of companies. I mean your quote from this article says that companies earned around $8 bn, that sounds like a lot but it really isnt (as a percentage of total US GDP).. Yes several energy companies did gain a lot form the war , but overall the warcost more than any gains!
This is very true. As for the Iraq war, which let the unemployment rate decrease and the company invest rate increase.
Are you seriously suggesting that companies tend to invest more during a war?? You must be out of your mind!! If you look at and consumer / producer confidence charts you will notice that during September 11, Iraq War ad other War crisis, they were at an all time low!
I agree that war can be beneficial in the short run - but only for a handful of companies, but as a wholemost of the effects on an economy are negative. You just have to apply basic economic theory to realize this. The amount of financial and material assets a country uses in a war poses an oppertunity cost! The money could be spent else where.
We are talking about the overall economic picture - you say that a couple of firms benefit, but the whole economy is nt determined by these companies.
Another point about why a war is not beneficial to an economy:
During the Iraq war Oil prices have soared - because fuel is a basic commodity that every household needs, rising oil prices leads to a contraction in a households disposable income, meaning that consumption goes down and so does investment since its more costly for firms to produce goods and services (since fixed costs go up). Therfore Aggregate demand falls meaning Unemployment!!
How could you say a war leads to an increase in employment? stop looking at all these sources and look at basic economic theory!
How could you say a war leads to an increase in employment? stop looking at all these sources and look at basic economic theory!
I was talking about the evident decrease of unemployment because many unemployed joined the army. I didn't say that new jobs were created, solely that there were less registeres unemployed.
We are talking about the overall economic picture - you say that a couple of firms benefit, but the whole economy is nt determined by these companies.
All of the extra money these firms earn with expansion flows back to the US. So if many companies earn more than they would have, then the american economy does benefit from it.

I mean your quote from this article says that companies earned around $8 bn, that sounds like a lot but it really isnt (as a percentage of total US GDP)..
Even in the broader picture $8 bn is far more than the $0 they would have earned in that region if there would still be a regime in Iraq. Secondly the specific post you are mentioning was more meant to be a proof of the relations between the Bush administration and these firms.
P.S.: I also have some arguments for your position, but one should only have one point of view and I wanted to get a discussion started. As I already said, it really varies. War can be beneficial, but it must not.
The extra money spent on the war is money that will not be spent elsewhere. The war can be funded in a combination of three ways:
*Increasing taxes
*Decrease spending in other areas
*Increasing the debt
Increasing taxes reduces consumer spending, which does not help the economy at all. Suppose we decrease government spending on social programs. Firstly we've lost the benefits those social programs provide. The recipients of those programs will now have less money to spend on other items, so the economy will decline as a whole.
Looking at the Iraq war i agree that there are some benefits. The economy of the United States could improve in the long run due to the war for a couple of reasons:
*An increased supply of oil
if a regime with better American relations were set up in Iraq, the supply of oil to the United States would increase. This will drive down the price of oil, as well as driving down the costs of companies that use oil as a factor of production which will certainly help economic growth. However this is ONLY after the war has ended and peace and security is in place - however this looks to be far far far away in the case of Iraq
*Stability and Economic Growth in the Middle East
If peace can somehow be established in the Middle East, the U.S. government might not have to spend as much money on the military as they do now. If the economies of the countries in the middle east become more stable and experience growth, this will give them more opportunities to trade with the United States, improving both the economies of those countries and the U.S.
Personally I do not see these factors outweighing the short term costs of the war in Iraq, but you can make a case for them.
--------------
*Lets not forget that the military is the largest single government bureaucracy. It produces nothing. It only consumes resources which it takes from taxpayers. all these resources are directed toward the building and maintenance of weapons. It does not create wealth. It diverts it from more productive uses.

Normally war is financed with money that doesn't have to come from new sources (the Iraq war is a bad example here, because the US strategy didn't work so they had to get more monex).
See, we did find a compromise. War can be beneficial, but it must not I think we need a new topic to debate about, because in this topic it really depends too much on all of the circumstances.
The most american wars are beneficial, because they are very far away from the US. The situation would be totally different if somebody would attack the US at home.
Yes. And until that peace is secured it is american companies and american contractors making money securing other companies or oil depots. Its a vicious circle, no matter how long this goes on for, in the long run the US will profit.

It produces jobs. It decreases unemployment and it makes major contracts with firms, who by producing weapons and know-how, help the economy.

You say that 8bn is more than nothing, well the total cost of the iraq war was $231,617,206,152 (source: http://nationalpriorities.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=182)!!!! so how can you deny that the wwar was more costly than the gains!
Yes all the costs of the war add to US gdp, however this money could have been used in other more productive parts of the economy which would have resulted in increased standards of living within the economy, ie spending on educatio, health care, etc.
And bytheway just look at the USs Budget deficit!

Yes, but the US would have spent money on weapons etc anyway (not as much). And as I said, the Iraq war was the greatest failure, this is not a good example. But normally the cost of going to war isn't that high and you can gain more money in the long run. Even through the Iraq war the US will benefit in the long run.
As soon as there is peace in Iraq and the Iraqi population starts to be able to afford buying things etc. the great profiteur will be the US, they have established a great network (in all fields) and the money will start coming back long after the war has been forgotten. maybe it will take over 25 years, but at some stage these $231,617,206,152 will have come back through the investments that were enabled through the war.

You know thats total and utter bullsh*t!!!! give me an example of a "network" of which you speak of, which will be profitable to the US??

the most firms that are profiting from the reconstruction of Iraq are american. Therefore these firms will start to make profits throughout the next years which will all flow back to the states.

This is my so called "network"
yea, i think we need a good topic to debate about - something with more real economics invlved? How about a Keynesians VS Classical Economists Debate!?
First of all, austrian guy and Lykabelle added to the members list. Welcome to the society 
Wizard 2 points, Austrian guy 4 points.
Right new topic. Good thinking wizard but wont the topic be too vast? It will take months to end! If all of you want it no problem, we will go ahead with it. So what are your opinions?
Oh another update, from now on 3 eco points for giving idea for a topic that is selected.

Does anyone have a copy of last years June (2005) AQA Economics Unit 1 and Unit 2 Exam papers or know where I can get them?
http://www.aqa.org.uk/qual/pdf/AQA-5141-6141-6841-WRE-Jun05.pdf
This is the examiners report. The markscheme is not in their website yet.
The topic is too broad in my opinion. I would be for a topic related to the pros and cons for the european economy due a possible accession of Turkey to the European Union.
I found a link to the book (ebook should I say) "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" by Keynes. I dont know whether it is the full version, but it is interesting enough.

http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au/k/keynes/john_maynard/k44g/index.html
I want to be a member!
topic 1: that I suggest, see above: Turkey
topic 2: Facing the giant China, which measures should the EU take
topic 2: Facing the giant China, which measures should the EU take
Wow @ me not getting points when NONE of my opinions were copy and pasted.
whos opinions were copied and pasted?
i think a really intresting debate would be one on protectionism and how it effects developing/developed countries. Whether the CAP is justified..
Anyone?
Anyone?
