The only people that benefit economically from such events are those who profit from supplying it goods or services required to power the conflict.
You forgot there are those who profit the most (or hope it at least) those who start the war. Power to get money, and money to hold the power.
I have just written a bit about that or the case of Luanda. You know, the most expensive city in the world?
