That era may be ending. In today's episode of The Valley Current®, host Jack Russo explores the global rush toward rearmament as military spending surges and venture capital pours billions into defense technology, from autonomous drones to AI-driven surveillance systems. Is the world entering a new strategic equilibrium where security once again takes priority over social investment? Can nations afford both &quot;guns and butter,&quot; or will rising defense budgets reshape government priorities for a generation? Using economics, history, and game theory, this conversation examines one of the defining questions of our time: when peace becomes more expensive, what are societies willing to sacrifice to preserve it?
