#Peace as an Economic Strategy

"Historically, wars have driven extraordinary innovation, generating everything from the radar to the internet. A peace mission would feature the same level of ambition, but directed toward conflict prevention rather than conflict readiness. It would mobilize investments in infrastructure and programs to address the root causes of instability: food insecurity, water scarcity, and climate displacement."

"As we look ahead to 2026, we should reflect on what the economy is actually for. Is the point simply to generate higher GDP figures, or is it to create the conditions for human flourishing? A new year invites us to imagine alternative futures. Our resolutions must go beyond static measures of progress to ask what kind of society we want."
