The Monetary Value of War

Everything comes in with a cost, a physical approach that is rooted in human embodiment of sacrifice, and economic costs that are more destructive due to the severity of an extended duration for recovery. Both are heavy losses that signify an enduring term of repositioning the economy into a stable environment and status. It requires plans of action and the ability to adapt to every change that comes along with it. For not all changes are easy to adapt to.

But at times of war, the conflictual horizon of an uncertain future is the subject of most of the political objectives. Looking at it from the outside, the borderlines of war are illustrated into wartime equipments and the equilibrium of the line that resides on the battlefield. Yet, the estimation of such an equivalent structure is calculated by the following diagram of domestic economic destruction and the activity of warfare actions that encompass the entire situation.

As the global market is shifting and evolving into new diameters that are highly influenced by international political changes, the domestic economic sphere is the first to reconstruct its bases and formation to adapt. For not only will there be an increased rate of already existing taxes that go up to 30%, but new economic policies will be introduced to boost the cold economic conditions.

Also, an increase in tax levy will lead to fiscal crisis that are heavily influenced by inflation due to military expenses at times of urgency. The outcome of recovery in this scenario is a very different approach of austerity due to its impact on the global financial system. Despite the final outcome, the global and domestic GDP are expected to drop and slowdown. And due to political uncertainty, every economic shift is met with a 10% loss of its  total cost that will lead to international changes on the long-term.

A recovery plan and a financial blueprint are  built on domestic recovery first, with the intention of stabilizing the economic forum for a period  than the previous plans. Every percent of an economic increase is dealt with a fixed amount of capital expenditure and a minimum wage that can then be adjusted for the next fiscal shift.

The global-political impact of wartime encompass not only military expenditure and operations, but they also include the imports and exports of goods that have a high chance of being used as a winning card. Despite localization and the push to move towards locally produced goods, imported options are always the first choice people tend to make and lay eyes on. Yet, this dilemma tends to reciprocate at times of conflict. Due to geological  and geopolitical considerations, and the absence of stable maritime borders, imported goods are often subjected to the policy of (returned imported products). That leads to full dependency on locally sourced products that will eventually become an option and an only choice at times of crisis and need.

Although the time for locally sourced goods to grow and create a sustainable economy for their own needs is built on such challenging times, it’s still important to reconsider the idea of infrastructure, destruction, and the increase of taxes that will eventually double and triple the price of every produced product. There’s no winner in this scheme, everyone and everything is economically and socially challenged. Lives will be turned upside down and global transitions will continue to take place, creating a future of economic and political uncertainty.

With that, the ultimate goal for economic development and political stability is only based on one winning card. And it’s peace.  As for now, it’s important to show union and stand with your country, and support your loved ones at times of mental and physical difficulty. For it all shall end, and the sun will be brighter than the days before.
