Peace isn't really the issue, competition is the issue.
War is the ultimate form of competition, and as such people will strain themselves to the limit in order to out do the other side, losing is unthinkable. This is why war seems so good for innovation, people feel a burning NEED to succeed, there is no room for laziness.
Competition need not be in war. Economic competition creates motivated self interest. By figuring out the better way, you can succeed economically. If you take away that incentive things slow down, why spend years and years perfecting a new concept if it doesn't help you? I'd rather be drinking beer.
This is why good companies see to it that employees are rewarded for such work. Who would you rather work for you or your boss? Who are you going to work harder for?
