About this episode

This episode explores the economic realities of war and its impact on global economies and individual earnings.

War is often discussed in terms of politics, territory, and global power—but behind every conflict is an economic structure that shapes how resources, industries, and opportunities move. In this episode of A Better Way of Earning, Dr. Michelle explores the historical and economic realities of war as a business system. From defense spending and global contracts to supply chains and workforce impact, this conversation provides a clear, human-centered look at how conflict influences economies—and ultimately, how people earn. This is not a political conversation. It is an economic one. Because understanding how global events shape financial systems is essential to making informed decisions in today’s world.
