Jeffrey Sachs: There Is No Shortcut to Peace | Endgame  

This is one of the most important videos on RU-vid. It should be required watching for all Americans.

Prof Sachs, you are one of the greatest US academician in our times, US govt really need ppl like you to govern.

Prof. Sachs, you are one of the best in the business. You have a very good grasp of History and the World.

Sachs is just an amazing speaker. Thoughtful and down to earth where everyone understands his views. America needs to listen to him!

Imagine the US’s greatness and the World Peace, if Prof Sachs was elected as a President of US in stead Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

When Jeffrey Sachs speaks people SHOULD listen.

One of the most intelligent and sensible thinkers of our time. It’s a shame he doesn’t have more influence over our corrupt and wayward politicians. Thanks for the discussion.

Jeffery is an intelligent peace seeker we are fortunate to have.

As a American, I am embarrassed by our so called leaders.

Honest Scholar and this is why I love listening to Dr. Jeffrery Sachs

I cannot thank you enough for having this conversion with M.Sachs I will share this vision leading to a path for Peace and World Order ❤

Always a pleasure listening to professor Sachs.

Very wise and practical advice that would benefit US and the world. Thank you Prof. Sachs!!!

This is Superb. Thanks pak Gita for arranging this ❤❤

OMG Pak Gita, thank you for bringing Jeffrey Sachs to Indonesian audience!

The most positively illuminating conversation I have listened to in fifty years of trying to understand and trying to find grounds for hope

Very informative. I wish more people would hear this message and act!!! Thank you!

One of the best interviews so far.

Prof Jeffrey Sach appeared in so many videos but has never seen him so collected, so articulative, so clear headed and so poignant. Thank you Wirjawan and Prof Sachs. Prof Sachs, the rest of the world notices your dedication to peace, we are with you!

This was so educating. Thanks so much. Professor Sachs is such a knowledgable individual, we truly love him

_"The real economy in the 21st century depends utterly on skills. So, if any country wants to be successful, the single most important thing to do by far is educate your children. Your children should be highly literate, numerate, aware of the world, understand digital technologies, and know the world that they are going to be working in. Many of them are going to be helping to guide and to lead."_ -- *Jeffrey Sachs* Thank you for the brilliant conversation, Pak Gita and Prof Jeffrey. 🍻

It was a surprise to me that what Jeffrey is proposing as a solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, I myself have been saying for 10, 20 years. The parties will never resolve this themselves has been obvious.

World-class lecture that would've cost us thousand of dollars to get in the US. Thank you for the generous insights, Pak Gita and Pak Jeffrey.

Thank you Jeffrey from the bottom of my heart ❤ i am international interpreter and historian You understand the world. And have a vast knowledge

Jeffrey Sachs is such a breath of fresh air explaining in great detail the history of the last century and an incredible narrator listen up everyone❤❤❤❤

Jeffrey is a humanistic internationalist intellectual with a with broad horizontal view for the just and fair welfare of human being community as whole. My heartfelt respect!

Well narrated and full respect to Pro. Jeffery for his views and farsightedness.

Tq Pak Gita for these interviews, Jeffrey Sachs, Vijay Prashad and so many other wonderful guest you've invited. Much love to Prof Sachs, I love his optimism, and hope to see ASEAN develop strong trade relationship and integrate closer with RCEP members in these tough times. While all our boats are small, tying them together to weather these turbulent times, we'll eventually emerge past these storms stronger together.

Julian Assange tried warning us!

Great conversation. Jeffrey Sachs is the best knowledged & well Read Human being when it comes to what Governments Do & Why they Act the way they do.

What a fantastic and fruitful conversation. I am thrilled while listening to this encyclopedic man. Thank you for this

Mr Jeffrey Sachs is a real hero, thank you very much for all your work for peace

I hope more Indonesian to see Judge Napolitano podcast, Prof Jefry are regular guest there and also George Gallaway from UK, he are fewest American knows what problems in their government including Col Douglas McGregor, Scott Ritter (fomer UN weapons inspector, Lerry Johnson and Ray Macgovern (both are former CIA) who are anti war movement in America

I couldn’t have imagine that we’ll be able to listen the depth interview with the speaker which are centre of the event !! Thanks for bringing it to us pak Gita, appreciate Jeffry for the insight. Really enjoyed the talk

Besides his unquestionable expertise on geopolitics and economy, this talk shows the credibility of Pak Sachs. He make a clear and fair remarks of Israel - Palestine conflict even though he came from Jew background. He is a very rare gem that is underappreciated in US.

This was the best of Geffrey Sachs ever. Thank you!

Jeffrey Sachs’ insight, clarity, vast knowledge and brutal honesty on topics involving international affairs make him an excellent guest. Interesting and informative. Thank you

Cosmic blessings to you, Jeffrey Sachs . Thanks very much.

I could listen to Dr sachs for hours. He has so much depth in his understanding. Imagine him in office. No wars , that’s for certain.

AND DR. JEFFREY SACHS IS VERY , VERY, AND VERY HONEST SCHOLAR AND ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO HIM

Jeffrey Sachs, a prominent economist and professor at Columbia University's Center for Sustainable Development, criticizes the United States' pursuit of pushing Ukraine to join NATO, asserting that peace cannot be attained through such actions. Reflecting on his upbringing in Detroit and his academic journey from Harvard to Columbia, Sachs highlights the historical backdrop of global capitalism and European imperialism, underscoring the transition to a multipolar world economy. He laments the US's diplomatic shortcomings, emphasizing the need for greater respect and understanding in international relations. Sachs condemns the militarization of conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, urging for diplomatic resolutions and critiquing the US's role in exacerbating tensions.

Thank you Gita for this intellectual and educational conversation with Professor Jeffery Sachs, I have been following professor Sachs for a few years now and regard him as a good hearted intellect with a World of knowledge. I was observing your Shelving of Books and admiring how neatly organized they are, well done Sir, it looks sharp.

I always admire Prof Sachs altruism and honesty.

*Sachs,* serving as the Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, brings a wealth of experience. His roles as Special Advisor to UN Secretaries-General Kofi Annan (2001-7), Ban Ki-moon (2008-16), and António Guterres (2017-18) underscore his commitment to global cooperation.

UN Security Council should mobilize peacekeeping forces-it can be Arab; it can be others-to keep the two states right apart from each other. But it should just impose this now!”_ *New Economic Philosophy* 57:17 - Jeffrey Sachs : The monetary system is not the real economy _“You can’t make an economy rich by printing money, … [so] focus on the ‘real’ economy!”_ 57:53 - Jeffrey Sachs : Economy in the 21st Century hinges upon talent (so educate your people!). Including, becoming literate, numerate, aware of the world, digitally aware. _“Education by far is the most important single investment that any society makes.”_ 58:45 - Jeffrey Sachs : Build a strong international and regional network and cooperation. *External Links & Further Reads* *Other Endgame Episodes on The Shifting World Order* How Not to Win the War, but the Peace - Stephen Kotkin | EndGame #174 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wdo5VRuZd5k.htmlsi=eHavIYhpJvgaEwG_ Ray Dalio - Economic Empires : Past, Present & Future | EndGame #158 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f5xkLvq-MUw.htmlsi=jAnmUz8zPW8I-o9I 'Why Nation Fail' Author : The World is Rebalancing | EndGame #137 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vo813FaXeq8.htmlsi=62ggweaM-9YCiqoC Niall Ferguson on Twitter, Elitism, and the Next World War | EndGame #123 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_zbTxCbfidk.htmlsi=V4MvJvhhMyRckOMn *References from the Content Development* Jeffrey Sachs : U.S. Policy & "West's False Narrative" Stoking Tensions with Russia, China - Democracy Now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wmOePNsNFw0.html Introducing the Military Intervention Project : A New Dataset on US Military Interventions, 1776 - 2019 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/00220027221117546?icid=int.sj-full-text.similar-articles.9 Jeffrey Sachs on China's "Historic" Push for Multipolar World to End U.S. Domination - Democracy Now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rgMPIhBLp1I.html Conversation with John Mearsheimer, How States Think sdgacademylibrary.mediaspace.kaltura.com/media/Conversation+with+John+Mearsheimer,+How+States+Think/1_cm91bhan/199826673 Jeffrey Sachs Interview - A Shifting World Landscape - Jeffrey Sachs of Fans ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kd13ykSEB3Y.html Jeffrey Sachs Bio www.congress.gov/117/meeting/house/114542/witnesses/HHRG-117-GO00-Bio-SachsJ-20220329.pdf Jeffrey Sachs' speech to Religious Leaders at the Pre-COP28 Faith Leaders Summit, Abu Dhabi, November 6, 2023 www.jeffsachs.org/newspaper-articles/5xratmlyf8s587nelmm85wbk98djdm The US economic war on China www.jeffsachs.org/newspaper-articles/us-economic-war-on-china 📌 sgpp.me/eps175notes

Peace is the one and only option for people. Enough means enough, suffering must end.

Very educative and informative talk from an extremely brilliant American academic professor, Jeffrey Sachs. Listening to him made me feel that there is still some hope for this very chaotic world.

Great piece. Great interviewer also.

Thanks Pak Gita, thanks Pak Jeff, may God bless you..

Interesting personal history Mr Sachs ❤

It felt so nice hearing his perspective. Thank you for the great lecture.

Thanks Sir, Sachs ❤

I like these English interviews. Being an Indian, I wanna understand him and that happens only through his English videos. Hope he uploads more in the same language.

Absolutely love Dr. Sachs! Thank you!

Noam Chomskey, John Mearsheimer, and Jeffrey Sachs... in my humble opinion, they are Hones Scholars

Love your content Gita. Admire your work. Keep it up. From Afghanistan.

Such a great man! Thanks.

Thank you Mr. Gita, this is very insightful and makes the nation smarter

You wonder why so many Americans refuse to wake up....and respect, the rest of the world!

Thank you professor Dr. Jeffrey Sachs. I learned many politicaltalks by you.❤ I can see your panorama view explaining sincerely. U R Great really.

Such informative discussion ❤ thank you both

People like Jeffery Sachs make US Great. His discourse emphasizes our Values and our Value System ensures our continued leadership in different spheres.

Professor Sachs, I thank you over and over again!! "Cooperation " as you have stated, IS the name of the game. It is so easy to do were it not for that big fat human ego getting in the way. 😊

Love listening you both discussion Thank you Pak Gita for inviting DR. Jeffrey Sachs. It's really chill me up with the way he explained; facts, knowledge and humour mixed up. Those like an enlightenment for me. Thank you Pak Gita

Thank you for your open mind and clear statements..blessings to you 🎉👏👏👏🤩

Professor Sachs, thank you so much for shedding light on our present confused world and sharing with us your early background. If certain world leaders would adopt your stance of proper behavior towards each other, how wonderful a world we could live in.😊

Bringing Professor Sachs on your podcast is like equipping the World with High Knowledge and Understanding who we are, and what the World means to everyone. If Mr Sachs could be listened to by the Washington Administration there would peace in the world and less property. He is so respectful and I'm happy of you when you mentioned Professor John Joseph Marshmear.

This son of a labor lawyer is proud of the work he did at the UN. where he learned under Koffi Anan that etiquette does a wonderful job of masking corruption and ineptitude.

Professor Sachs at his very best. This conversation is the most cogent and sensible and dare I say accurate unpacking of our world that I - a mere micro-pipsqeak plebeian 😂🥳- has ever heard. Thank You! 🙏🏼

Diplomacy for the US is: "We'll tell you what to do" 😂😂😂 straight to the point wkwkwkk

and I really love when you get Dr. Sachs on your Session

Wow I have never heard it all laid out any better. Thank you!

Professor Jeffrey Sachs should be the next President of America because he don’t tell lies.

❤ Professor Sachs: A wonderful mixture of wisdom and experience. Clear, direct and with a good sense of humor. An American with common sense. Refreshing.

Mr Wirjawan what a pleasent surprise , that first time i encounter your channel and your personality. Very pleased and honored. For prof Sachs words to discribe him are poor anyway. A bright scolar and thinker.

and Dr. Jeffrey Sachs is a man of Sense and Judgement

Champagne for my brain........refreshing and insightful.

Great conversation with many historical truths highlighted and evidence residual remains.

What an eloquent summary of history in just a few minutes! Thanks

I salute you Sir Sachs.

Dr. Sahs is always on Point

and Dr Jeffrey! We love you for your great knowledge that you have

Prof Jeffrey Sachs's insights are consistently enlightening and enriching to hear. His acknowledgment is greatly appreciated. Thank You Pak Gita 🙏🏻

IT's good to know that US, intelligentsia,, even unwittingly, has learned, reasonable men among them to think globally even when acting locally.

Jeffrey geweldige uitleg kijk altijd waar je spreekt 👍👍👍👍

Good morning Mr Sachs Mr Gita🇨🇳🇺🇲🇷🇺🙏😇🕊️👋

Jeffrey Sachs speaks truth to power. He is an experienced economist and diplomat who in recent years really has opened his eyes for the dangers of the US, both domestically and world wide.

Well done👍👍👍

Big up Mr Sachs 🤜🏾🤛🏾💯

Another really great interview here, thanks. Professor Sachs’ unpopular opinions need continued sunlight. The depth of his understanding can’t be ignored, especially since it flies in the face of conventional, thinking in the west. He is so right about the low quality of American diplomacy. I confess that, while it sounds simplistic, I really like his bold suggestion for UN intervention in the Middle East.. Just do it already. Still, I take issue with some of his positions. Of course, Russian influence in Ukraine is Paramount due to history and geography, but Ukraine wants into the west. Sachs says Ukraine will never be in NATO, and this seems rational. But Ukraine in the EU is much more likely and more important. This is what Ukrainians want. Sachs asserts axiomatically that the Americans overthrew the Yankovich government. I am incredulous that the CIA could mobilize these vast throngs of Ukrainian people to throw themselves into the deadly streets, months on end, for this American CIA objective. I mean, incredulous, literally. The professor condemns the war mongering and madness of the renewed AUCKUS activity in the south China Sea. It is as though he assumes China will just rest on its laurels and be chill in the absence of other powers in these international waters. Again, I’m incredulous. This does not remotely match the reality demonstrated by the behaviour of the CCP. The western world has not only strong economic ties in the region, but friends. Don’t forget, similarly, that NATO repeatedly expanded …. because nations want in.
