The outcome of World War II and the Cold War refuted the beliefs that centralized state direction is efficient, that autarky is viable, that domination beats trade, and that a highly militarized economy can durably sustain national power.

Drawn from what Bret Devereaux said

What Bret Devereaux actually said

  1. Bret Devereaux Ancient and military historian specialising in the economy…
    the rather resounding verdict of the war (and the subsequent Cold War period) was that these assumptions - that centralized state direction was efficient, that autarky was a viable economic strategy, that it was better to dominate than to trade, that highly militarized economies could durably sustain national power - were false.
