In the particular case noted on the Cold War, Ozy is simply wrong, IMO. It was hugely ideological.
I don’t think the general case is true either. People fight for a great many things besides “having enough”. The resource they can’t get enough of is power over their neighbor. There’s no way to produce your way out of that.
