Substantial numbers of skilled farmers will be killed, injured, or permanently disabled.” (Katz 75-76)3.“Internationally the United States may encounter severe imbalance of payment difficulties. These difficulties would be attributed to reductions in industrial and food production that would trigger a severely imbalanced import-export trade. This would undercut the dollar’s stability and the international monetary system.” (Katz 77)4.“Nuclear warfare would destroy productive industrial capacity, undercutting the utilization of even surviving physical plants, and severely damaging the domestic and international monetary and financial systems that support the U.S. economy, causing the physical destruction of the value of money.” (Katz 191)1.Beres, Louis Renes.
