According to the book Spin-Free Economics, beginning in the 1980s, US (as well as European & Japanese) businesses poured investment money into south-east Asian economies, financing capital investments, and the rise of the export-oriented "Asian tigers". The resulting economic expansions validated the strengths of business & Capitalism, and helped turn south-east Asia & China away from Communism. If so, then business "won the Vietnam war", by winning "hearts & minds", by directly demonstrating the wealth-generating potential, of business & Capitalism (and making money for everybody involved). ( A successful war-fighting strategy is one that works. )
