no one has ever argued that economics is not to a greater or lesser degree involved among very many causes for war. What I and maybe others are saying is that it is only a part of the picture.

As per my example of two people deciding to get married... one can almost always find an economic component as a part of every decision. The question that we are raising (by analogy) is whether one can say that economic issues are mostly central to the choice of marriage partner. Certainly it is true in some cases, but likely not the majority of cases.
