Is there a correlation between prosperity and peace?
Yes, prosperity and peace are not only strongly correlated, they are mutually reinforcing.
According to the Vision of Humanity, prosperity and peace are mutually reinforcing processes that go hand in hand.
What does this mean?
It means that if there is less prosperity, then there is less peace and vice versa.
“Peaceful nations are more likely to be prosperous, and economic prosperity helps build and sustain peace.
This relationship creates a "virtuous cycle" where positive developments in one area promote growth in the other, and a "vicious cycle" where decline in one area harms the other.”*
Conversely, war correlates directly with and mutually reinforces poverty and vice versa. War brings about destructive acts of a "vicious cycle" where decline in one harms the other. Thus causing war and poverty.
If a nation wants to remain stable, powerful, and peaceful, it must retain prosperity, and if a nation wants to be prosperous, it must retain stability, the rule of law, and peace.
Failure to remain peaceful, will result in detrimental effects causing vicious cycles that bring about destabilization in societyand markets, destruction, violence, war and poverty.
