Evil Vs good or both for a better economy?

With what I have said, are you of the opinion that for a better economy, good has to be valued as evil forces that to happen?

No, and I strongly disagree with you.

Nothing good can come out of evil, especially war. But at times, some countries are favoured by it if they have what other countries need to survive or sustain the war. However, this doesn't mean an automatic turnaround for them. Many aspect of the economy has to be considered before a true turnaround happens.

I believe that self-discovery, good leadership and human capital are crucial to national building and in turning a country's economy around. Not necessarily a war.

I have a theory that evil in terms of wars, famine, corruption, hardship etc. are necessary for a better economy. For instance, if people don't see the negativity in evil, they won't respect good. As the only purpose of good is to preserve better things. For such things to be created, evil has to find loopholes in those good things and chaos comes to disrupt. Change happens and good again comes into play and then is preserved.

Hardship creates innovation. When things are hard, humans with intellect or those that hate hardship create a system for ease. Good is only valued when evil is experienced.
For a better economy, competition and conflict are necessary and people will see the negativity in it and choose good to preserve. When greed, corruption or scarcity comes into play, economic growth emerges to tackle those problems. So, without problems, a better society is not possible.

I think to an extent i will quite agree with you, people don't really appreciate the goodness of peace until they witness war, but situations that will lead to war or evil will never stop because there are some human beings that are naturally greedy, and we will still have people that will oppose greed, so these two factors can easily cause commotion in a society, that is why I fault statement like "the most disadvantages peace is better than the advantageous war", this is because how can there be peace when there's no justice.

So sometimes I believe in building an economy people will have to come up to oppose evil, if it leads to conflict then there is no problem, because when things are hard or the economy is in shambles, it was caused by evil persons, so there is need to oppose those people whether through war or dialogue.

It is true that sometimes hardships and scarcity can let to innovations but The evil like corruption , suffering, war, famine  help to create a better economy but sometimes they are not good they do damages that cannot be reversed if we look at the wars 1000’s of buildings business and lives are lost and destroyed during war, corruption reduces the trust and it makes the system unfair , where as famine and hardship reduces the productivity,  people struggle to survive instead of focusing on their skills or businesses.
So sometimes these challenges can cause growth ,serious evil condition mostly slow down the development and strong and good economy is based on the stability fairness education , when people started feeling trust and safe to the system they will create businesses , they will invest and then they will be happy to do innovations and there will be a competitive environment among people but it should not come from suffering or destruction that can reduce suffering and give people the same opportunities which help them to grow and succeed in their life.

This looks logical but doesn't appear to be the right way to think. it is just like saying that one has to suffer before one can become wealthy so he can appreciate what being wealthy is about. it might look logical based on an angle but taking an holistic view of things, it is not right. a better economy as well as a better environment will always be a source of inspiration for high productivity and innovation and often times, a good idea even comes when you are in the midst of abundance.

scarcity only makes you look for ways to eliminate it and ensure there is abundance but when those needs are met, you think beyond the ordinary and look out for ideas that stands the test of time and not just provide for short term needs.

[boyptc]

Why there has to be evil before we get to see better economy?

Isn't it possible just for a place or area or a country to be simply living in peace and good without having to deal with evil in order for it to have a better economy?

I don't think that it is impossible.

There's no need to go through with that because there are some countries that avoids war and other evil doings and yet, they've got some good and one of the best economies.

War cannot minimize the negative economic impact of evil, in fact economic goodness will only come to a few people, where those in power are the ones who have a healthy economy, not for the people who are affected by war.

In real terms and in fact, we can see that physical and infrastructure damage from acts of war crimes cannot actually encourage the economy for long-term growth. tends to damage the economy more seriously, it can affect the loss of public trust, investors, entrepreneurs who invest capital, for me crime will not create a positive economy in general, only for certain individuals.

[fighter2627]

In general, my understanding is that evil and good cannot be lost, one of them is already there, like checks and balances that will happen in the lives of each of us. like in trading,
there is win or lose, buy and sell.

Of course, how can we sell if we don't buy. How can we lose if the decision we made to buy an investment is not wrong. In short,
both of them can help anyone in my opinion.

[Cossyblack]

what I’m trying to say is that it is not only when evil or bad things happen that the country or society can progress there are other ways for progress to happen and it must not be evil.

Evil doesn't helped a nation to progress . A nation full of evil acts doesn't progress because nothing good can thrive under evil.. If they was no evil in this world the society would have been a better place than it is today. The civil unrest, bombing, genocide(Gaza), terrorism, pandemic are all manifestation of evil and no nation can progress under such disasters.. since evil cannot be destroyed there will always be evil acts  that is why they have been no lasting peace in any country but if it can be curb they will  be development. So for any nation to progress, government of that country must curb crimes  it is only a country with very low crimes rates can progress significantly.

[Kelward]

Nothing good can come out of evil so anything that is evil is evil, I don't know another word to qualify the magnitude of evil, it is extreme bad in anyway that you choose look at it, your illustration about the opposite of good to be evil is extreme. If you say that bad makes us to appreciate good I would say that it is more understandable because sometimes without knowing the implications of bad we cannot fully appreciate good things that are happening very easily around us.

I understand that before there will be lasting peace in any society there would be conflicts and chaos in most instances, after the storm everybody will learn to respect each others rights and opinions. Lasting peace is earned most of the time and the implications is the bad that brings about peace like fightings and wars before dialogue where everybody and communities will know their boundaries and not overstep it.

[michellee]

Evil and good will depend on personal. If they wants to benefit from the sources, they will regulating without discuss much to other side parties so they can take the benefit. That will be on the bad situation if the corruption, greed, scarcity comes into play and make people suffers.

The council makes laws that are not beneficial to the people and it looks evil and only benefit those who can used and understand the loopholes. No need to be look as evil to develop better nation but we know that many people in government have an interest in controlling resources without thinking about the benefits for the people.

Surely, there is no growth without challenge. If you look at some people who live in environment that is quite challenging to survive in, they improvise means that they are surviving and using the evil or disadvantages of their environment to create a niche for themselves. For an economy to improve, their has to be a lacuna that is found and solved. For example, the countries that are extremely cold, they build houses with heater more and wear clothes that protect them from cold. Likewise those in regions or countries that are extremely hot, they make provisions for air-conditioning system and likewise if they experience both weathers in seasons. Also those that live in countries of natural disasters build and structure their environment in a way that they can protect themselves in such times.

Good and evil coexist in an imperfect society; evil creates an imbalance, and goods correct the imbalance just as evil and good exist in the mind of man.
 Man creates rules for the betterment of society because of the chaos created by bad people. For a society to have a balanced, peaceful, and wealthy environment, it needs to correct the wrongdoing committed by bad people.
In the end, good always triumphs over bad because the majority of us choose good over evil.

[Cryptomultiplier]

In a better sense, I believe the purpose of an economy is to solve problems. When there is hardship or challenges, solutions arise and these challenges may not necessarily be evil but a problem waiting to be solved to make life easier and foster economic growth.
Humans mainly need to face hardship for their brains to work and that's why a country that is comfortable never grows but manages to survive the times.

A country needs to focus more on solving constructive problems for economic growth and sustainance to abound and that's where the intersection between good and evil meet for a better economy.

[Bluedrem]

Yes, just as we can enjoy the bright light of the day because of the night, similarly, the specialness of goodness is understood because of the temple. That is why in the case of economy, to enjoy the success of the economy, one should see the miserable state of the economy from the front. However, since economic recession is always visible and visible to people, no one wants them to fall into economic recession, that is why they always try to be financially conscious and express interest in learning about issues like collecting money, saving money and proper management of money to eliminate their needs.

Hardship creates innovation.

Hardship does drive innovation and we have history to back that up, like the saying goes "necessity is the mother of invention" but I'd push back on the idea that evil is necessary for good to be valued, because that framing kind of accepts suffering as a feature rather than a bug which it actually is.

A lot of the wars and corruption you mentioned didn't produce better economies but they produced generational trauma, destroyed infrastructure and set entire regions back by decades, I mean look at Gaza. The innovation argument works better for like mild adversity and competition than it does for actual war and famine. I think humans are also capable of valuing good things proactively without needing to experience their opposite first, like you don't need to starve to appreciate food security and societies that invest in education and stability tend to out-innovate ones in constant conflict.

This is life phenomenon, good and bad must coexist for things to work and get better. There is also a level of act that is very inhumane and takes only someone with the devils mind to exploit such action.

All I'm saying is that we can never have a perfect world, laws are made to punish offenders, where it becomes offensive and very cruel is that the law no longer sit at a balance, the wealthy and those in power now are above it.

Man is the sole proprietor of evil, and we can't tell what it takes to change the heart of man, that is why we never stop the fight against evil, which is the only way life can become better rather than go worse.

Weak men create hard times, and hard times create strongmen, life must have a balance for things to go the right ways, sometimes war, famine, and hardship spirals the edges of the world, and affects all the people in this planet one way or another, then build up strong people who would come up with ways of preventing a thing like that from happening to their generation, and because the upcoming generation enjoy the hard work of the previous men who made a better place for them to place, they relax a lot thereby creating weak men, who in turn create a hard time for their offspring.

[slapper]

Suffering is so common we start beleving it must be functional. It must have some significance. But that is us reacting to the world, not explaining how the world works.

It was understood by Bastiat in 1850. Break a window, the glazier eats. But the money that the shopkeeper has spent on the glass? That was going somewhere else. Something productive. Something that would have added, not taken the place of. Destruction moves money around. It does not create it.

Good is only valued when evil is experienced.

Are you sure about that? Children value kindness before they ever encounter cruelty. That's observable. The idea that you need darkness to understand light is poetic. But it is not even the economic and not even the truth of psychology.

Human beings are innovators because they're restless. Not because we are suffering. Provide people with safety and with education and time, they create the unimaginable. Provide them with war and they make weapons. Which of these does sound like progress to you?  Suffering was never the point.

From my experience so far, evil is not an option, I guess we’ve all seen the world economy so far and if we claim this mindset is right then why’s everyone complaining. There’s no reward for suffering, you only get to see wealthy people because they worked hard and it’s a personal decision, business competition also is as a result of wanting wealth. I understand we see this as something good because already this things are no longer new whereby everything has to be negative first and it never ends in a good way rather we just play along with poor economy and evil and feel it’s the right thing for a good turn around, I must disagree due to the end result viewing it doesn’t always end well as stated.

The forces in the economy do their part; good or bad is not enough to make an economy better. Goodness is the basis of economic development and it is reflected in honesty, hard work, justice and respect to the law. This brings confidence to business, it improves investment and creates job opportunities. At the same time, there is an opportunity to engage in more and be creative through using self-interest and competition, but to an extreme, there can be corruption and inequality. Thus, positive values must be prevailing and human interests must be mediated balanced through proper laws and moral values in order to have a strong economy. This provides us the opportunity of stable and prosperous economy and development.
