Rob Smith — Conflict costs the global economy $14 trillion a year


The cost represent the use of real resources that could have been put to use constructively to address the world's problems, many of which are the result of conflict. 

The social cost cannot be quantified since life is priceless.

Total waste.

Dumb, dumb, and dumber.

What was that saying? "No justice, no peace"? And it's corollary? "Know justice, know peace"?

One would hope that Americans, at least, would finally grasp that injustice is very, very expensive even in Earthly terms, not to mention eternal ones.

$14 trillion? Is that gross or net?
