“In the modern world homicide didn’t pay off as it used to. The United States’ entire imperial enterprise has been a losing proposition. The Philippines, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan – the net return on investment was starkly negative, though probably none so deeply in the red as the war against Iraq, estimated to cost as much as $5 trillion – with no discernible off-setting gain of any sort. But as the rate of return from violence declined, the rate of return from cooperation increased. The win-win deal did not simply transfer wealth. It added to wealth.”
