Why the world may be running out of it's usual stability.

[CTO114]

At face value, when we talk about economies the discussions are usually centered on; oil, debt,inflation and unemployment, but from a deeper insight modern economies is usually dependent on the invisible resource "predictable stability".

For a long period of time businesses assumed stability in currencies, geopolitics, trade routes and globalization. However we're starting to see the end of that era.

The global economy was optimized for efficiency not resilience. One war disrupts shipping, one semiconductor shortage affects industries all over the world, one energy shortage aids inflation globally.

The system became so interconnected that fragility disguised itself as efficiency!

In other word we can say, stability is form of trust, without trust investment declines, consumption weakens, capital costs rise, and productivity falls. What happen today are logical consequences from growth based economy model which prioritized growth instead of resilience.  Post WW II  all economic institution try to find away how to grow faster not how to survive during a crisis period, all discusion about GDP growth, productivity, trade, consumption and investment which cause all companies find ways to maximize profits at the lowest possible cost which make assumption that reserve are wastefull, redudancy is inefficient and independence as more expensive choice. From resilience perspective, i see it as no crisis precaution behavior such as not preparing an umbrella for the rain because we hope the day will always be sunny.

In VUCA world, its more challenging even leading to danger, the speed of growth is less important than the speed of adaptation, If only growth plan is set, a country  will not be able to automatically switch to adaptation plan mode. If a country has enough preparation, they have endurance persists when circumstances change. I think we can see it from fiscal reserve, economy diversification, trusted institution, legal certainty and has food and energy security.

We as human beings are making the economy unstable, aren't we? Who is starting the war? We are. Instead of peace, often we are looking to involve ourselves in the war. As a result, we are encountering energy shortages somehow that lead to an unstable economy. If you see, all the weapons have been made to destroy humans and countries, not to save.

Most of the crises are human-made. If the economy faces a crisis for nature, there are different questions that we can't control; for all others, we may be able to control them. Remember, the world doesn't have an alternative to energy. Somehow when it does affect, the whole economy becomes affected.

The economy is always linked to predictability. Even negative figures make sense if they can be predicted, and therefore it will be easier to make decisions to reduce losses. Instability will make it difficult to predict things, and therefore even the smallest changes will have a very negative impact.

I will say that certainty do help both individuals and businesses to plan ahead of time with enough confidence. Despite the fact that the conditions are not perfect, people can still adjust if they understand the direction things are going. The main challenge here is when price, market conditions and policies do changes when is not expected, this kind of uncertainty can make people delay their investments, reduce spending and become more conscious about tomorrow or future decisions.

I don't know where the world is headed to but I know it is definitely in the wrong direction. I remember when I was a kid, the world was much peaceful, enjoyable and people were living freely and happily not because there were much money then of because we had money amenities then. It is just as if we are being taught to hate, live in fear and in isolation in this generation and the worst part is that family bonds are being broken every day. Should we blame technology?

If you do simple survey, you will be surprised that the greatest companion of most people now are not their family and friends but their mobile phones. There they are engaged in diverse opinion, culture and trends that shape how they perceive life in general. Because of this people fail to filter what to inculcate and what to jettison as not being applicable to them due to culture, geographical location, value system and others. So yes, technology play a part in creating this divide and the chaos we are facing now because the moral values have eroded.

Finally, there is the competition for scare resources and supremacy that have contributed to most of the unrest we see all over the world. Natural resources like oil and gas, rare earth metals, access to see and many other factors have contributed in spreading wars and rancor that is ravaging the entire globe amidst increasing population. I doubt the world will ever remain the same because stability have become a mirage.

Somehow, maybe these wars will now become inevitable, perhaps we can learn to live with them. The problem is still human whose destructions is more than what natural occurrence can do. This situation of war is really destructive to the global economy because no country is actually self sufficient, you need one resources or the other from the other country or continent. Take for instance wheat started skyrocketing in price with Ukraine Russia war and today every product and by-product of wheat has become expensive.

Most of the wars have also become business for countries whose resources is to manufacture warfare materials and dangerous once for that matter. So world peace as it stands now may be an illusion. Instability may not end and that will keep altering the rate of inflation to the high side because there is also changes in financial policies in countries that are affected by war and that trickles down to countries of dependence.

With the way alot of things are happening now I don't think we will ever achieve global stability any time soon . This world is run by lots oligarchs who just wants to profit in anything e.g war.  The level of insecurity has increased in an alarming rate especially in African countries which undermine their development and most of these terrorists supporters or sponsors are rich people who are chasing personal interests. middle East looks like a war zone , most of the countries there are lying in ruins. South American are fighting against drug trafficking and cartel which ruins people life. Each continent are having their personal issues that is causing this instability. I remembered when President Trump said he will stop wars and bring stability to the world but he has caused more harm that good.

I agree with this and that is why most nation do what is called economical and financial planning that is when the have predicted the possible future and make their plans towards it also in our individual lives we also do that, people do make financial plans especially to improve their financial status but all this planning needs to have predictability and that will be almost impossible if there is no stability because you will just have nations and individuals preparing for what ever comes along.

Humans will cause economic problems for themselves and still ask why is the economy going down. Even when it becomes pretty clear that their actions are destroying the economy, they rather watch it go down totally than let go of their personal or regional interests, for the economy to stabilize and grow. We are our own problems, the people that benefit from the system will never allow the global economy to stabilize. They will always cause one problem or the other around the world.

Its very valid point that mostly economic problems can be created by human actions like wars, conflicts which can be done to access the resources for energy and production so in this way economies are collapse so inflation can be increased. So basic root is energy for modern foundations so when its affected its may effects all business. Also humans should learn from there past mistakes and reduce the conflicts. To solve energy problems international corporations and major leadership or heavy investment in energy resources helps to creat stability globally. But some times natural disasters can not always be prevented so this portion is also can be noticeable. So governments and individuals combinely plays an important role to become stronger economy better than better.

The thing is even if there is war today, there are is definitely those benefiting from that war, and this the sole reason why you have economic crisis because there are serious beneficiaries of those crisis. If at all today the government or those closed to the government do not benefit from any of this crisis then you will see that they are not going to be anything related to those crisis. I can categorically tell you that some economic crisis are even deliberately created because the government either wants to divide the attention of the people from them or they wish to seems like they found solution to a certain problem. Most of this economic crisis are even propaganda by the government to benefit them one way or the other

You call it fragility, but strong bonds are what keeps the whole world together. It is mortar that keeps brick houses in place, that is a bond that can last for centuries. Foundations of a house are a bond with the earth which allows houses to stay strong and it can withstand a few cracks. Bonds require work and maintenance to survive, that is sometimes overlooked as we start to take things for granted. Humanity has never had such a long and peaceful period as we have since the end of world war 2 and we should be praising that instead of undermining it. Incompetent and egotistical leaders are the main problem in the world today, politicians should always be striving to bring people together - including those of other nations - into positive actions, not constantly trying to stoke division and hatred. They do it simply to distract from their own ostentatious and luxurious lifestyles that they seek to selfishly enrich even further.

We cannot always predict the course of the world. We do not know which way the world is moving, but the current situation indicates that the world is moving towards instability, it has now progressed so far that we may not have anything else to do. The world economy has already entered instability and this was very unexpected.

The direction in which the war turned was somewhat unexpected. The long-awaited Israel-Palestine war has now become an economic war. In particular, I did not expect that this war would hit the energy sector like this and create an energy crisis in the world, not only me but many countries did not expect this. If they had understood, then maybe they could have planned something alternative. We humans are now becoming so violent that even living in peace has now become a demand. The relationship between one country and another is going to deteriorate, we are facing regular wars. Doesn't this prove that the world has already entered instability.
