It is undeniable that governments tend towards promoting inward interests at the expense of the international community, and therein lays the bone and marrow of every war. Men and women too often forgo their individual conscience to rule under the premise of patriotism, and in so doing they err disastrously. Interdependence is the key to global peace, but it only works genuinely if commerce is pursued without the barriers of government subsidies and disparate social rights. No one dares to bomb their source of revenues. If I sell to you and you sell to me, at a fair exchange, there will be peace between us. If we both buy from them, they won’t harm us either. Economic interdependence is the greatest deterrent to war and the healthiest way to establish genuine globalisation.
