I agree about the World Economy being a platform for stability. I don't agree that it is due to a fear of loss though.
Nukes, IMO, have undoubtedly prevented major loss of life. So far. Without the fear of ultimate nuclear destruction, I am pretty sure there would have been an atrocious war between Soviets and the United States. Even with them, we came up with creative ways to have skirmishes through other nations. But it never came to all out war. The trouble with the nukes is, you only have to have one major incident to undo all of the good they have brought. So until infinity, we won't know if they truly were the savior of mankind, or the undoing of mankind.
