“The Structural Transformation Case For Peacekeeping” by Lauren Gilbert

This is a link post. As time goes on, the world's poorest - those who live below the World Bank's extreme poverty line of $2.15 a day - are increasingly concentrated not in stable countries, but in unstable ones. Without stabilizing fragile states, all our progress at reducing global poverty will soon stall out, leaving hundreds of millions living on less than $2 a day. Peace allows countries at least the prospect of growth. It is not a guarantee - growth is not always easy, even for countries at peace - but when there's a civil war, it's virtually impossible for a country to grow. For poverty to decrease, to health to improve, for life to get better, for countries to grow - there must be peace. --- First published: November 12th, 2024 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/vkbwJxQLzMjApoHtX/the-structural-transformation-case-for-peacekeeping --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.
