Er verdeutlicht, warum die Träume von einer besseren Gesellschaft oft nichts Gutes hervorgebracht haben. Von hier schlägt er den Bogen zu den Fehlern der aktuellen deutschen Politik, von der Einwanderung bis zur Energiewende.

Resting on a convincing body of evidence that violence is not a necessary component of conflict among states and between states and non-state actors, World Beyond War asserts that war itself can be ended.

Yet its costs are rising at a dangerously unsustainable rate. The control of technology costs poses a terrible ethical and policy dilemma. How can we deny people what they may need to live and flourish?
