Video Description:
Jeffrey Sachs is a renowned economist, professor, and policy advisor with decades of experience in international development and economic strategy. He has served as a special adviser to three UN Secretaries-General and has played a key role in shaping global initiatives such as the Millennium Development Goals and Agenda 2030. As the director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, Sachs has been an advocate for sustainable economic policies, multilateral cooperation, and efforts to reduce poverty worldwide. His work has earned him recognition as one of Time Magazine’s most influential world leaders. In October 2024 he published his book Diplomacy or Desaster in the German Westend Verlag which reiterates why negotiations are vital to shut down the war in Ukraine to prevent further escalation.
In this interview, we discuss a wide range of topics, including Germany’s role in global affairs, the challenges of multilateralism, the effectiveness of international institutions like the UN, and the future of U.S. foreign policy. Sachs also shares insights from his experiences advising governments and organizations such as the IMF and World Bank. Whether you’re interested in global economics, diplomacy, or international development, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on the challenges facing today’s world.
