This is the most one-track minded post I've seen in quite a while. You're focusing on chasing a piece of meat dangling in front of a treadmill without realizing you don't have to be on the fucking treadmill in the first place. Peace isn't some sort of goal to be achieved, its a gradual swelling of ideals and mentalities that eventually spreads across the land and creates nearly permanent paradigm shifts in more area of civilization and reality than one. You're also forgetting to look at humanity from an evolutionary standpoint, being that individual goals are not conducive to realizing a goal of an entire species. Things like psychopathy and basic greed are good for short-term success, but fuck us in the long run by inhibiting the self-actualization of our entire human race. If you observe Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you can see that over 95% of people have the inability to reach their full potential. The same goes for the human race. We can't be focusing on minuscule, self-fabricated issues like inflation, but on solutions that are oh-so achievable, if only it means that the world's wealthiest and most powerful take into consideration that their sweatshop employed miscreants are just like them, fucking human beings.
