deeply the international flow of goods, services and
investments, base of the present global economy.
These disruptive effects, beside discouraging the
production, would debilitate the confidence of the
investors and consumers, and, therefore, they would
limit the private investment and the expenses in
consumption. The uncertainties and disorders that
would accompany a military conflict might squash the
macroeconomic direct stimulus that the military
expenses were generating. Such uncertainties already
are visible. From ends of August, the oil prices have
increased several dollars for barrel. From June, the
North American markets of actions and of the rest of
the world have declined 20 per cent (evaluation in
