In this episode of Slate's What Next, we examine the economic
costs of the conflict with Iran and why the true price of war
extends far beyond the immediate impact on oil prices. From
higher energy costs to the effects of rising geopolitical risk on
economic growth, we explore how economists measure the
consequences of uncertainty — and why those costs are felt most
by the world’s most vulnerable households. The conversation also
looks at the broader economic implications of weakened
institutions and why competition, not just business success, is
the foundation of long-term prosperity.
