Well as a really long aside my economic thinking originates from summers spent playing starcraft while watching the History Channel play endless loops of WWII documentaries. This has to do with economics because the overarching narrative of WWII was supply. It was the economies of the U.S. and the Soviet Union which won the war.

lmao. Welp that explains why you poo poo up every goddamn economics thread posted with retarded garbage.

And? War actually serves as an excelent context for highlighting the fundamentals of economics.

It can. History channel documentaries and fuckin' starcraft do not. HTH.

Wages of Destruction by Tooze would perhaps give you that insight, a two minutes blurb inbetween war footage about how mass production good, specialized production bad, is not enough to use as a basis for forming any opinion of economics.
