91. For Peace, Use Abundance.


For Peace, Use Abundance.
Bob Komives
::

War is age-old medicine
for peacetime economic myth.
It can spur us to do the unconventional.
If willing to abandon dreams of community,
we can again abandon fiscal conservatism
in order to wage war,
but the pay-offs and risks have changed.
High-tech, “conventional” war is deadly,
but, after all,
just conventional.
Whole-wax, nuclear war is more deadly,
but, after all,
just unthinkable.
If we will refuse to use war
to cure ills in the economics of scarcity,
we must learn to use abundance
to cure ills in the economics of peace.
