This chart from today's Early Look by Ryan Ricci shows the economic impact of violence has increased eight times in the past 14 years.
The Global Peace Index ranks how peaceful 163 countries are on an annual basis. In 13 of the the past 15 years (including 2023), global peace deteriorated.
The U.S. ranks 131 out of the 163 countries in the index and has the largest economic impact of violence, $4.2 trillion. Those figures suggest the U.S. economy runs on violence, and, sadly, continued violence is what will grow our economy.
