The correct answer here - that wasn't true for the economies at the end
of the World War II was that the GNP and corporate profits doubled.
What
did happen though was that almost every country that was involved in
this conflict found its resources to be mostly depleted and this in no
way meant that corporate profits were being doubled.
Hope this helps!!!
The King Psammetichos of Egypt decided which languages, Egyptian or Phrygian, was the older by believing that a baby reared without exposure to language would speak the original language of man, the king commanded that two children be raised completely isolated from speech. One day, one of the children uttered a sound which sounded like "bekos." Because this sound happened to correspond to a word which meant "bread" in the Phrygian language, the king decided that Phrygian was older than Egyptian.
Thomas Hobbes
In this state, every person has a natural right to do anything one thinks necessary for preserving one's own life, and life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" (Leviathan, Chapters XIII–XIV).
