How so? From all i’ve read that was the case.
To accept that the war helped the economy is to believe in spending or the breaking of stuff grow the economy, which it doesn’t
Let me ask you, if I break a window, does it help the economy? If you think about it a little bit. A broken window leads to employment for the window fixer, who in turn will have money to buy glass from a factory. The glass maker can then have money to go buy grocery, who helps the farmer. If your answer is yes, then let me ask you. Lets help the economy and break more windows. Lets all go out and break windows to help the economy. Before long, you realize theres something wrong with this “help the economy” plan
