This question <150|130> overall <151|155> Hans: <141|264>.

Question 94: Give another example where the same thing has two different effects. Can you identify, in your example, two different aspects of the thing which are responsible for these different effects.

[152] Hans: War and overproduction.   The two effects of war, which Tink described in [150], are not only different from each other but even contradictory. If you see a contradiction somewhere, it is often possible to trace this contradiction to a more basic contradiction. A Marxist might try to argue: the contradiction that a war is not only an expense but also a stimulant of the economy is rooted in the deeper contradiction of overproduction and underconsumption in capitalism: the economy is not able to produce as much as it could because it does not pay its workers enough, therefore there is insufficient demand.
