Opportunity costs don't destroy the economy.

Money-printing does destroy the economy on a lag, specifically when the production has such catastrophic shortfall that it shows itself to be ponzi without tangible value or benefit. Value being based entirely in human action.

When that happens, its basically slave labor silently extracted from the population through inflation. Such things historically always trigger other cascading failures.

I see you've got the same treatment I often do. I tried to help, even with science on our side, it's not much that I can do, but it's from the heart:) Cheers!

Unfortunately that is just how it is on biased platforms, but its not like that everywhere yet. It is like a page out of Atlas Shrugged though.

All the parasites ended up dying in that book when all the intelligent people decided to just step back and let natural human tendency and the momentum they created do what it was always going to do. All those people were deluded into thinking they could just make a law without paying respect to the mechanics that made things work. Ayn Rand though is also quite deluded in that her ideas don't work without eliminating inheritance and money-printing.

Slavery is intolerable in any form.

Indeed, the scale matters a lot. With that said, a ponzi always has beneficiaries.

With the help of war or without, it's up to the beneficiaries.
