Is peace better than prosperity

It is extremely difficult for me to imagine a state of war that increases the overall prosperity of society. War is costly - it is always the costliest of all political options. It eats up the resources a society has in a way nothing else does.

As it takes up and eats up available resources, it automatically reduces the prosperity of society overall, making the majority of its member poorer overall (at least for the duration of the conflict). Indeed, the aftermath of war (which is peace) can bring prosperity (through victory), but by then, the war is over.

Thus, while there is war, prosperity cannot increase, and as such, you need peace for prosperity.

P.S. There are mathematical models that say that in some really extreme cases, going to war is 'cheaper' than maintaining peace (in deeply indebted societies), but this is cutting edge research, and only applies for extreme cases and theoretical models.

A culture needs both peace and prosperity to survive. But in modern economics, prosperity can exist in wartime (due to increased production of goods), only to cease when the war ends and demand decreases.
