Zweig saw the world fall apart a century ago not because human knowledge stopped advancing, but because of widespread governance and policy failures. As we enter 2016, we must focus on adapting governance, in all of its economic and political dimensions, to the twenty-first century, so that our resources and knowledge produce inclusive progress, not violent conflict.
遏制破坏、平息人们的恐慌的关键在于治理。一个世纪前，茨威格目睹世界分崩离析，其原因不是人类知识停止进步，而是因为普遍的治理和政策失败。随着2016年的到来，我们必须专注于调整治理，使其在经济和政治的所有方面符合二十一世纪，从而让我们的资源和知识创造包容性进步而不是暴力冲突。
