Jeffrey Sachs: Economics, Conflict, and Real-World Diplomacy

A note from Lawrence:
Jeffrey Sachs was the youngest tenured professor in Harvard’s history when he was promoted only a few years after receiving his PhD. And for good reason. He is one of the most remarkable intellects I know. I have always been amazed and the breadth of his reading and knowledge, and when I give him one of my physics books, he reads it in a day, and comes back with great questions.
Jeffrey has not been content to stay within the confines of academia, and for 17 years served as a senior advisor to the head of the UN, and has worked, sometimes controversially, with numerous governments to help them out of economic hardships. His interest in world affairs has caused him to write a great deal about power politics, global conflict, and diplomacy, and I wanted to sit down and talk to him about two conflicts about which he has written recently, Ukraine and Gaza.
But first, we talked about his own career, his interest in economics, and also his thoughts about the UN, an agency which of late has dropped considerably in my own estimation.
I agree strongly with Jeffrey that only diplomatic solutions to military conflicts have any hope of lasting, and that nationalist politics that sustain military adventurism inevitably only causes the people within both warring countries undue hardship. But how to extricate countries from the cycle of violence is a difficult challenge, and Jeffrey doesn’t mince words in that regard. I have to say that I agree with him wholeheartedly about Ukraine. Not as completely on the Middle East, though our disagreements are subtle. We both agree that a two state solution in the middle east is essential, and detest many policies of the current Israeli government, especially on the west bank (although no more than I think we both detest the policies of the terrorist lunatics governing Gaza, who seem intent on inflicting as much or more hardship on their own populace as any external government does, most often to score political points on the world scene) I am less sanguine about the likelihood that UN troops and Arab nations could or would realistically and fairly implement and police such a situation, but I sympathize with his views that the UN may be the last resort.
I expect I may read some angry feedback about some of Jeffrey’s suggestions, but once again, reasoned discussion, especially about disagreements, is essential if we are to make progress, in science, and in the real world. As a result I feel particularly lucky to have people like Jeffrey to have such discussions with. I hope you are as stimulated and educated by the discussion as I always am when I talk to him.

    53:10 Yeah, these same men who oppressed women for millennia perpetuated some form of the cliche' "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world" across several cultures, civilizations, languages, cultures and so on. It is like they confuse Sultans and Kings with Harems and Concubines and CEOs with Yrophy Wives they cheated on while Traveling on Business for months when there was no airline travel with the rest of men who were lucky to find a wife AT ALL. Genetically, I think, 50 percent NEVER did. The remainder were probably lockes in Holy Deadlock until Death did they Part. Literal AND Figurative.

    Since the U.S. will no longer be the dominant power in the world, does that mean U.S. taxpayers can stop sending billions of dollars to other countries? We should be able to stop funding the UN, IMF, World Bank, etc.? Seventy five years is long enough. The U.S. is 33 trillion in debt, and that money didn’t go into infrastructure or social programs in the U.S. . Let China give trillions away. BRICS can fund their own countries. It will be good to put American citizens first and try to dig out from 33trillion, that went who knows where. And maybe China can be the main funder of the UN and WHO. They are now the dominant power in the world. China can fund the UN’s Global Equity and Climate Change Agenda 2030. Then the world will work the way it should. 🇨🇳

    John Mearsheimer precedes Jeffrey Sachs. There is also Gideon Levy. What I find interesting is that now that public opinion finds the state of Israel, the IDF and the propaganda (via the Israel lobby) repulsive, disingenuous and predatorily opportunistic (see Mearsheimer’s take on the dire future for Israel), all of a sudden some American Jewish academics, some American Jewish podcasts are sagely nodding their heads as they criticize Israel and its occupation of Gaza. (Heck, even the word “genocide” is being used.) I think that some American Jewish academics realize that the necessary good will, post- Holocaust, is gone and are gingerly approaching the non-Jewish audience/population. I don’t think that it will work. The die is cast. The Jewish population’s complicity in Gaza etc. has rendered obsolete (in some way) the history books that I read. This is so, so sad. 😕

    So happy to see Sachs pop on my feed as a guest! People are quite ignorant to the “manufactured consent” happening 24/7 in Washington. Sachs is a voice of reason who should at the very least be listened too and make one think a little deeper about their positions. I had much of my notions or positions challenged over the years. It’s quite liberating when you aren’t formulating opinions based solely on what is being touted by one political party, the state department, Fox News, or CNN etc. listen to alternative views and start to think critically! Anyways, looking forward to listening! I’ll be watching Sachs conversation with Tucker Carlson next.

    omg stop calling every other race of people "terrorists" just because they don't comply with what America wants. This is precisely the kind of western supremacist attitude that is going bring down its own downfall - the fall of the western unipolar hegemonic regime is already underway. Nelson Mandela used to be labelled a "terrorist" until he freed South Africa, then hailed as a hero and freedom fighter. Every indigenous of the land has the right to resist (armed or unarmed). The only reason I popped in here to watch this is to listen to Jeffrey Sachs, intelligent and knowledgeable man. Zionist Israel is destroying itself by its own genocidal colonial settler racist ideology. Not all Jews are Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews. Free Palestine from Zio occupation 🇵🇸
