Abstract: The relations between national economies and wars are complex, each being, in turn, ends and means. From the beginning of time, war has been conceived as a natural way of acquiring wealth. Later, the use of power relations and the growing concentration of administered powers were effective means of strengthening the coherence of states under construction. Preparation for war was a factor of technological and economic power. For some economists, war is inscribed in the fibres of the market economy (Marx), while for others (Galbraith), it constitutes a factor of social regulation. Above all, however, the oblique economic war is also present in the power relations between states and nations.
