How does an atomic bomb effect the economy?

Answer 1

The atomic bomb made Japan's economy temporarily collapse, but, with the help of the United States, got back on it's feet. See it as if a person punched some-one, but then helped them back up. Japan lost many farms, which made the Stock Market branch in farming collapse. Nagasaki was a major industrial city, and the A-bomb (atomic bomb) took out the stock market branch of the industries.

Remember, get your facts straight.

Answer 2

I do not know how an atom bomb affects the economy now but I can tell you how it affected the world in 1945. It cost over a billion dollars to do the research and develpment of the atomic bombs. It gave people jobs and homes while they helped to create them. The atom bomb technology provided new jobs and new technology for the next five decades. Nuclear power provided low cost energy in many places around the world.

It cost the United States money to help repair Japan but that was pennies compared to having millions of lives killed and the cost of an invasion on Japan. The loss of lives who could earn a living in Japan did affect their economy and families. They did recover though.

The Cold War cost our country a lot of money when we had to wage war against Korea and Viet Nam. Nuclear missiles are expensive but not as much as the Fat Man atom bomb and the Little Boy atom bomb. Many of our nuclear missiles have been dismantled however. It cost too much money to maintain them and we agreed with other nations we would do that.

The nuclear powered submarines and ships save our country billions of dollars in fuel costs.
