And how to fight against war and tyranny
European cities have transformed into open-air museums and theme parks, yet locals often complain about the very tourists their economies rely on. Tourists inject money into local economies without consuming government benefits like healthcare and pensions.
In a low-growth environment, this trade-off is beneficial. However, backward-looking, fear-driven policies to curb tourism can harm local economies. Without tourism, much of Europe could face severe economic decline.
The acronym often associated with fear-based strategies employed by media figures like Rupert Murdoch is FUD, which stands for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. This strategy influences public perception and behavior by spreading negative, misleading, or alarming information, ultimately creating toxicity in our environment.
