“Whereas the presence of a powerful state suppresses the capability of fighting, the benefits of trade suppress the intention to fight. Countries that trade with one another avoid war not because they fear losing but because they do not find winning an attractive prospect: they gain more economically by not fighting than by prevailing.”
