Economy and the missing pieces

It seemed that there is something missing - one pays the nation for an economy in tax contributions. This however does pay for furthering the insecurity of the state. As it powers in most countries the military industrial complex. The economy is not supported for its existence by any mechanism to secure it into the future. Eventually there is war. That drags down the economy. Then there is a boom and another armsrace.
If one looks at economy in terms of exploitation (I do not) then I have seen no one view the imperative of self financed military service of Greek and Roman citizens.

Having weapons means that they have targets, in another way weapons form the enemies. So the investments in "security" in fact reduce it.
Economy is still set to run around the collapses due to wars. One can believe that setting it on other grounds is basis for a more successful economy.

Increasing the number of investors in an economy towards a majority would be one way of overcoming the poverty, that has only partial trend in societies, however it is a very long term trend.

The second missing piece is the effect of the depletion of environment and disequilibriation of ecology. Workers health drops as the industry pollutes. Consumers suffer in parallel and greater number.
