1. Globalization
Modern travel, communications, and internet connectivity have made the world smaller. Ideas, products, and services can travel anywhere at incredible speed, and do so every day. This is the new economic model for the world. It also means that, whatever our leaders and politicians may say, we are all dependent on one-another. Not only does this make the world safer from the kind of massive conflicts that have defined most of human history, it means global health and national security are the same thing.
Money and fear are both powerful incentives. In the new global economy, they intersect, so that it is in our interest to improve the health of everyone in order to keep trade flowing. If disease outbreaks or natural disasters are threatening one country, that impact quickly magnifies to the rest of the world (21). It is no longer enough to secure our borders—we need to eradicatedeadly disease around the world to be safe. Not only does this mean less fighting, it also requires more cooperation to predict earthquakes and distribute vaccines. No matter who creates the next cure or early warning system, the global economy will demand that it become available to all.
Money may be the root of all evil, but it is also paving the way toward health and long life.
