Prof Jeffrey Sachs puts the complicated world problems and solutions in a simple way which I hope politicians can understand. Indeed peace is necessary for all to achieve sustainable development.
Thank you, Prof Jeffery, a most lucid observation and opinion. I wonder when the best of Mankind can get down to rejecting this continuing game of snakes and ladders. Some have described us as a recalcitrant race, haha. Yet, what is there if we do not have hope. . . I think your advice and suggestion demands consideration and attention from the entire leadership of the world. All have a role to play, but it is clear, no one can move forward without all moving in harmony together. Thank you once again!
The true irony to me as that homo sapiens are unable to recognize the simple fact that we are all - all 8 billion of us - residents of the same place! Another disturbing irony is that we are collectively sucking the very "life-blood" out of the ONLY habitat that we have, yet we seem unable to willfully do anything definitive about our own depredation! A cursory overview of human history from ancient times to the present moment leads me, sadly, to wonder if homo sapiens might just be a slightly more intelligent form of a pernicious invasive species intent on devouring everything in sight until there is no more? Bleak, I readily admit. But if you seriously, objectively compare what we MIGHT be doing to what we actually ARE doing, the conclusions are very stark.
Jeffrey Sachs never discloses that he frequently works for the Chinese government when he posts his anti-US rants - I can't take anything he says about ethics seriously since he doesn't follow basic ethics himself.
What country has done more than any other than China lifting millions out of poverty. Which country has invaded dozens of countries causing millions of deaths of women and children ?
@@jamshedsethna3428 Who fought wars against USSR, Korea, Tibet, Xinjiang/East Turkestan, Burma, Taiwan, India, Vietnam, with Japan? CCP has killed more people than any other government or country IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, and in only 70 years! That's 60 million people, and if you add the COVID19 deaths they're also responsible for, that's over 70 million now. China didn't eliminate poverty, all it did was re-define poverty so that half their population doesn't qualify, but with the higher cost of living in China, half the population is still dirt poor, so it has accomplished nothing.
Thank you so much Dr. Sachs.
I'm at home in Hawaii and I'm clapping and cheering for Dr. Sachs! Woot woot!!!
Great interview! Huge respect for Prof Sachs who always speaks the truth and upholds justice for all!

How can you have ethics and profit at the same time?
You can within certain limits atleast. While not unlimited profits
Ethic and economic are antinomic. If you didn't understand that, then you are still in the age of dreams.

@@megthornton1371 So you don't think "experts" on TH-cam should disclose conflicts of interests?
