The Iran War's Devastating Butterfly Effect

विवरण

The war in Iran has had some visible consequences, like skyrocketing energy costs and higher gas prices, but the effects of this war are often far less obvious and much more serious for the world’s most vulnerable people. Today, Peter S. Goodman tells us what he learned on a recent trip to Somalia, and why the system of global aid is no longer in a position to help. Guest: Peter S. Goodman covers the global economy for The New York Times. Background reading: Catastrophe is emerging in the world’s most vulnerable places as the war in Iran causes soaring costs for food, fuel and fertilizer.
