The Importance of Unconventional Thinking

Unconventional thinking is crucial in promoting economic growth and dynamism. History has shown that societies that embrace dissenting voices and creativity tend to flourish economically. Small countries, in particular, have been able to overcome the limitations of their size and geography through globalization, attracting multinational corporations and capital. However, the world is at a tipping point, with geopolitical tensions rising and conflicts dividing the West. The emergence of wedge issues, such as Israel-Palestine, is driving a wedge between the United States and Europe. Russia and China, led by Putin and Xi, are capitalizing on these divisions. In the American election, the left is at risk of splitting, opening the way for a Trump-like figure who could further isolate Europe. It is a precarious time, demanding fresh and unconventional thinking to navigate these challenges.
