Examples of using

The post-war economic development of vanquished nations can be rapid if they are not looted by the victors. For this there are two reasons. First, everything has not been destroyed: some things are merely broken; and a relatively small effort of rehabilitation is multiplied by the value of what remains serviceable. Second is the disabling of entrenched power structures, which often stand as a bar to progress.

Le développement économique des nations vaincues, après une guerre, peut être rapide si elles ne sont pas pillées par les vainqueurs. Il y a deux raisons à cela. La première est que tout n'a pas été détruit : certaines choses ne sont que cassées et un effort de réparation relativement limité est multiplié par la valeur de ce qui reste en service. La seconde est la neutralisation des structures du pouvoir établi, qui fait souvent obstacle au progrès.
