War and Capitalism

The idea that war, or preparation for war, is good for business for capitalists (as defined by the old Marxist theory, now called entrepreneurs) is contradicted by the fact that stock markets collapse when the prospect of war arises, as we can see every day from the crisis in the Middle East.

Only a small number of entrepreneurs profit from it, but overall the economy collapses, causing great damage to entrepreneurs as well.
