As economist Steven Landsburg writes in The Armchair Economist (1991‚ p 3)‚ “Most of economics can be summarized in four words: ‘People respond to incentives.’ The rest is commentary.” People care about their employers‚ but they also care about their families‚ hobbies‚ gardens‚ and churches‚ which for the most part is why the incentives work so well.

Often the war is even ’fomented’ by covert (secret) operations where rebels are trained and funded to stir up trouble‚ giving the Western oligarchs a good excuse to "intervene militarily’. Either way you cut it‚ the wealthy use their ’corporate-friendly’ mainstream news broadcasts to dummy down the public‚ create fictitious reasoning for war like: ’this operation is to establish democracy and freedom
