https://peacealliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/virtuous-cycle-of-peace.jpg327403A new report from the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) has just been released on the economic impact of violence containment to the world economy. One of the many harrowing statistics: the 2012 estimated global cost was $9.46 trillion or 11 percent of Gross World Product, which is more than 75 times our foreign aid expenditures. The United States violence costs constitute 10.5% of our GDP. Sadly, these numbers are conservative estimates.
