Will 2023 be more peaceful than 2022?

Matthew Kroenig: Hi, Emma! Since this is our last column of the year, I thought this would be a good opportunity to look back on the big events of 2022 and forward to the trends likely to shape 2023.

Emma Ashford: That sounds great. I will say this for 2022: Unlike last year, this year my family’s Christmas presents weren’t snarled in some overseas supply chain or run aground on a tanker in the Suez Canal.
