Sacrificing prosperity to harm the enemy.

In India, when the population had a little more money, they quickly armed themselves in preparation for a conflict with Pakistan.

In Russia, Putin is turning the West against him, threatens it, and hacks it rather than investing in and engaging in trade and tourism with the West. This money is not invested in public services such as schools or hospitals.

This approach stands in stark contrast to Francis Fukuyama, author of The End of History, who believed that once everyone has a sufficient standard of living, there would be no more conflicts.

Bertrand Russell wrote a theory of motivation stating that there is pleasure in exercising power, even if it means destroying rather than building.

Fortunately, some other countries are choosing to improve the quality of life for their populations rather than seeking out enemies to fight.

The Taxpayers Burden — Housing Sector An investigation into how millions of pounds in taxpayers’ money are paid to housing associations through Housing Benefit, with little evidence that councils are scrutinising or challenging the servic...

Over £41m in taxpayers’ money has been paid to a single housing association over the last three years.

That raises a simple question: what safeguarding exists once public money leaves the public purse?

Wasting renewable energy comes at a high cost for the Dominican Republic By operating thermal plants above their limits and maintaining a grid with insufficient storage capacity, the DR wastes part of its clean energy and generates multimillion-dollar losses.

The Dominican Republic wastes clean solar power, then buys costly fossil energy instead. Regulators allow fossil plants to break rules, while the public pays the bill. This is mismanagement serving old interests, not people or climate.

HS2 exposed as a Tory white elephant and waste of public money The high-speed rail project HS2 is not likely to begin running by the latest-projected date for doing so, it has been revealed.

HS2 delayed again — costs soaring, benefits shrinking and no clear case it will ever pay for itself. A Tory white elephant built during austerity while millions suffered?

The economic elite don't need a rapture; they have gated communities and "network states." Both mindsets—"I'll be saved, screw the rest"—undermine the collective action needed to solve diabetic homelessness or climate crisis. Our duty is to the world we're in.
