"Economics never stopped a war in progress" - Helmuth VonMoltke

Isn’t it economics that stopped WW1 though?

Depends on where you draw the lines. Exhaustion of resources stopped WW1. Those resources include money, material, and men.

I think that's the point - it was just materials and men, not so much money.
