Choosing Between World Peace and an Infinite Supply of Money
If I could have anything, I’d be so tempted to choose an extraordinary amount of cash but selfishness aside, I’d have to go with the classic choice: world peace. Having spent a lot of time in the Middle East, I’ve seen directly how hard it is to build a healthy, functioning society with the omnipresent specter of war waiting to disrupt financial markets, food supplies, and daily life. Politicians use the threat of war to uphold undemocratic regimes. When war does break out, politicians profiteer and families suffer loss of life, income, and the chance to create a better future.
