>War and GDP per Capita
>
>While wars are destructive of physical and human capital, the impact of war on GDP per capita is unclear. This ambiguity is fundamentally due to the way national income accounting deals with killing people and destroying things during war. Producing weapons and munitions is counted positively, while killing people and destroying things is not counted at all.
>
>On the one hand, war can increase GDP per capita by reducing unemployment and by shifting people from family formation and other nonmarket activities into wartime production.2 On the other hand, even with the failure to account for the destruction of physical and human capital or the loss of nonmarket activity, war can lower GDP per capita by reducing labor and total factor productivity through the destruction of existing physical and human capital and by reducing investment in new physical and human capital. War can also reduce GDP per capita by reducing gains from both domestic and foreign trade.
>
>Conceptually, the total cost of war includes three parts: (1) the opportunity cost of the resources used to prosecute war, (2) the loss of lives and destruction of physical and human capital during the war, and (3) the reduction of GDP per capita as measured during and following the war. The focus of this study is on the third part.

If you read my posts, I say Putin not Russia when discussing their recent wars against Ukraine, exactly because he is a dictator.

As to why Putin is such a disaster as all dictators are for any country:

Not certain were you get the idea Putin is not a dictator, they have no free press, free speech free assembly and just publicly saying the wrong thing about their war on Ukraine can put you in prison for years.

Dictator and Leader are 2 different characters. Leaders too can take drastic actions.

Name any leader ( who was not a dictator ) in modern times that ruled for 20 plus years with an iron fist killing all their political opponents, taking over all press and media in their country, holding sham elections and punishing any dissent with imprisonment?

Thank you. I didn't know that!

No I don't know anyone like that. Yes Putin has done all of that. But still he is NOT a dictator as he does care about his homeland. The real reason Putin started a war is because he was afraid of NATO expansion. In fact Putin himself tried to get Russia into NATO in 2000 but NATO declined their offer because the whole purpose of NATO is to stop Russian Expansion. Putin somewhat is a dictator , but we should not get into the conclusion just yet , Because in this modern world , propaganda has brainwashed every person on this planet. I'm not talking only about Western Propaganda, Russian propaganda , Chinese Propaganda you name it. Propaganda is a political weapon used by everyone.

>Dictators are dictators but Putin is not one. No I don't support the war but Putin is a really good leader. Who said that leaders should not start wars. Leaders like Biden , Macron and Netanyahu are the real war Criminals.
What the holy ----
Who said that leaders should start wars, for starters?
