That era may be ending. In today's episode of The Valley Current\u00ae, 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 "guns and butter," 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?
