I like what Mrs. Sachs said: " I don't want America to lead, I want America to co-operate"

great talk but one thing has to be noted, Trump is not the cause, he is the consequence

Looks like Orwell's _1984_ should have been titled _2024_ .

I have been a fan of Professor Sachs since I watched him he has a guest on Morning Joe show where he actually did something very unique in the mainstream media and that was he told the truth about the Iraq War as well as what was going on in Syria and that's why I ended up here watching this wonderful discussion which I now appreciate him even more why in the world can we not have people in Congress like Jeffrey Sachs...? Yes, that was rhetorical I already know and so do most of you... But take solace in that because that is a good thing as 30 years ago much fewer people had this kind of awareness of global matters let alone the insane undermining of our constitution By corporate America and the military industrial complex. Can you imagine Tulsi gabbard being president and Tulsi appointing Professor Sachs to a cabinet position? I don't want to get myself too excited because reality is far removed from what are hopes are but we must keep punching up while they are punching down

Absolutely love Jeffrey Sachs. Sensible, truly honest and genuinely knowledgeable

Voluntary cooperation without any strings and information sharing and charity is an example of cooperation. Contracts are an example of terror.

I expected Jeffery to be more specific, "we don't have intelligent discussions any more" should have been replace by "we aren't allowed to have intelligent discussion, we are fed disinformation, and the corporate 1% tells us and our leaders tell us what to think and discuss".

Professor Jeffrey Sachs is a very wise man

This year the G7 was about gender equality and crap like that Look how far we've fallen, and not because of Trump

Thanks for Jeffrey Sachs’ wisdom, he is pointing out the right direction for US.

God will deliver divine justice for these crimes. We are all responsible for the leaders that we support and empower.

This bloke gave the most honest, intelligent appraisal of where the world is at the moment that I have heard.

The truth unfolds at last!

Good to hear an economist emphasising the environment. He says that humans will survive a warming globe but they may well not. Picture what goes on in the oceans-the food chain that is a system of dependency. We can easily grasp hold of the fact that if their is break down in the system then existence of all life that plays a part in the chain is threatened with extinction. Now appreciate that the a likewise type of scheme operates on land. Dependency exists between species. We do not know for certain how the breakdown of the system would unfold but nothing is more certain than it would happen. From the most vulnerable up and onwards, our environment would become unable to sustain life. We must stop warming our world.

I recommend a book written in 1830 called 'Democracy in America' by Alexis De Tocqueville. He arrived from France to study various 'systems' in America and discovered much to his surprise that American democracy was a system from the 'ground up'.. It began in the Town Hall. So.. where did 'that' America go to? We are now a managed population.

Great talk! Cooperation, a common goal and plan, compassion and recognizing that we are all one species who is sick fighting against each other. We need each other! And we need a healthy Earth!

When an expert ... recommends seeking advice from other experts on issues you might not have the answer... refreshing to see someone with clarity and knowledge :-)

If it were up to me, I would make Jeffrey Sachs the leader of the planet. One of the few American intellectuals that is worthy of admiration.

The world will crash economically, and the value for life, will take hold, only to be realized, that, this is the place, we should have started.

From all the comments that I've read. Populism is not only going to stay but thrive in the U.S!

If Professor Sachs ran for President I'd vote for him. He is a compassionate, honest, intelligent man. That's a rarity in politics nowadays.

He is a dreamer

It's sad that not many people want to listen to truth , or talk about the truth, and join the conversation!

well, "sustainable" is the first code word that is alarming...but i'll continue listening ~ as long as i can stomach it...

Jefferey Sachs gives a fair description of the symptoms of the last 50 years of hegemonic neoliberal disorder. His leaderless global movement for consensus is a difficult sell to the Machiavellian establishment, who are unknowingly creating a reactionary world of their subconscious fears. Social inequalities amplified by economic inequities seem ill served by the magical thinking of a deus ex machina techno-resolution; yet, not even a phantasmagorical plan of action can be foretold. The last 25 years of malaise ends as it began, cognitively captured in a death cult spiral. Denial of our complicity with moral corruption has caused our anti-social civilization collapse. Sacrifice corporate profits in exchange for 6th extinction assurance? Whether property rights or human rights will predominate over the common good pretexts the final social order.

Note to self: don't read the comments. DON'T READ THE COMMENTS. *DON'T R E A D THE C O M M E N T S!!!* 10 minutes later. OH DEAR GOD WHY DID I READ THE COMMENTS ?!?

Please add the moderator's name and job description - Laura Kuenssberg, BBC Political Editor, and former Business Editor of ITV, and Chief Political Correspondent for the BBC - to the description above.

I just want one person who pushes green energy to admit that it doesn't work everywhere. Sun doesn't shine everywhere, wind doesn't blow enough everywhere.

As usual you are amazimg, resprctable Jeffery Sachs.

The host lady is very good and supportive to Professor Sachs wonderful presentation.

Listen to this guy he is definitely a nwo stooge

Thank you to I2 and Jeff Sachs for this imperative discussion. Anyone taking the time to fully engage in this video will leave it changed. I hope for the better.

Your wife is right. Politicians are a joke.

In Africa, we are a long way off to all just going to coffee shops, although in South Africa we have plenty coffee shops, but a large portion of the population, black & white (60+%) do not earn enough money to go to coffee shops.

This talk is the weakest in this series and very frustrating. He made only a handful of points on the subject and the overall message was garbled. His final point, essentially detached from the balance of his talk, is that we need a common direction, not leadership. This man is detached from reality. Without leadership, nothing will happen. He feels we have done nothing in the last 30 years to prevent climate change. I agree--because we lack leaders with the conviction to convince the people to act.

I like this guy, facts instead of fallacy, coherent reasoning instead of conspiracy. He's like the American antidote to David Icke 😂

They are a military super power at a minimum and have much less debt than us

An American world Republic!!

There is one imerging Good Leader, who leading for unity.

Also gotta give him credit for admitting publicly that Obama waa a huge failure

America needs one political party to run the nation's everyday business. And every 4 year's election you sure can elect another president Roosevelt? 8 years for a good president is too short duration. I know a general manager worked for a stationery business for 11 years and the share holders keep asking him to continue.

Dr. Sachs is brilliant! This needs tens of millions of views!!! Anyway, it's the New World Disorder.

Mr.J.Sache, I am attuned to whatever message you have given in your deliberation. I am a serious thinker on impersonal system of policy making and management of affairs of the society of men. If you ave or if you get any in future idea as to how this can be be possible.

Now, 4 years latet, you have Biden, instead of Trump. Happy now.? Trump least wanted to let Americans live free with some self determination and keep out of wars.. All his inadequacies were a breathe of fresh air compared to the leadership before. This from Canada

Interesting that Russia's economy is not mentioned

Great program 🙏🙏🙏

Jeffery Sach's advise does not make the world a safer place, the truth does.

Mr.Sache, how about forming a global federal state accommodating all the nation states in creative way so that no stakeholder suffer from the strain it will involve?

"this is it ", unfortunately, there will never be the " one" , there are so many forces behind the "one" pulling the strings . feels like the " one" should be call the most powerful " spokesperson" in the world.

We were in a complicated time way before!!!

Oh my, he had no idea of what was to come with Biden in 2020!

"Checking the box for Hillary was tough" "The Obama Administration lied relentlessly" & I vote Dem & local.

Oh and we have enough guns and ammo in our citizenship to take on any army You're welcome

44:08 - Sachs just casually forewarns of the 2020 pandemic. Brilliant

Foster Wheeler Energy Company (FW) 1997. All FW DisciplineEngineers were gathered together to be told of a new development. Due to the availability of the new techniques, to be able to electronically produce deliverables ( documents), FW was reviewing "Cheap Cost Centres". The gathered engineers had never heard of the term "Cheap Cost Centres" before and the manager really did not expand on the implications within his statement, which was very brief. Later, is was rumoured that FW was to rent offices in two Indian cities and expanding the scope of a third office in Thailand. For many years, the highly qualified Discipline Engineers of FW had operated a process in which new graduates would be given an initial induction and training before each gradute was placed on a project. This process ensured that FW always had first class staff to support the Company's objectives. Graduates into FW were from Bristish Universities. Accordingly, it was a surprise when a group of Indian Engineers came into the offices of FW, in Reading Berkshire, UK, and FW management issued an instruction that the FW Discipline Engineers would train up this incoming group. What was more shocking was that a very arrogant young Indian Engineer stated to the Discipline Engineer, who was enhancing the skills of the indian Engineer " Once we (the indian group) understand what you ( the FW engneers do) we will take over all your work and execute it in India ( within the Cheap Cost Centres). THAT IS GLOBALISATION as experienced in leading Industrialised countries. However, the use of "Cheap Cost Centres" backfired and FW, eventually, was absorbed into other companies as a lost cause. Now the ELITE are asking why the PEOPLE are rebelling against their leaders of industry backed up by Politicians such as Theresa May and decrying POPULARISM (Rule by the PEOPLE as oposed to Rule by the ELITE)

Thank you, I did not know there was a Katy Perry, add that to the fact Jeffrey Sachs is brilliant, and a great audience, great talk.

Populism is never going to end , it is what makes the world go round. People want more harmony , this is how we get it. instagram.com/rickycruzla

The power of the internet(knowledge)

Living Wage (UBI or BIG) may-be one of the missing links. We might all have access to recourses, regarding renewable energy, meaningful work/labor, intelligently applying technology, It' s all there, but most incentives for real improvement get stuck by the lack of money or time. And we need some kind of horizon. Although it might seem impossible, it is in fact not so.

Yeah. Don't build a wall.

The lady does not even knows who UN's head is.

I like this smart guy....

Well I see where you tube is cutting out the Voice on certain videos they don't like

Excellent video. His explanations crystallise my thoughts on the corruption within the political system of the USA. He is very optimistic about robots. My view on robots and AI is the opposite. I am very concerned and feel very pessimistic about the future for us all, except for the elites who control us. I agree with his closing statement, "... we are in a period of profound change". This has the potential to transform into an egalitarian, utopian world. But, being realastic; looking at the world in its current state, I don't believe that can ever happen, because the human spirit is only human and time and time again we show ourselves to be greedy, dishonest, self-centred, egotistical, cruel, resistant to change and too rigid in our belief systems. The world is a mess. It's not the person in the street: the Jon/Joan Doe's or the common man/woman who creates these problems. It's the rich and powerful elites, who control our politicians who engineer these problems for their own benefit. How can we combat these elites? Is it possible to defeat them?

The world is a better place with people like Jeffrey Sachs. Hope his message spreads.

#AndIQuote Never hope for the things to get worst to get better.

What’s really depressing is that this most excellent spot on lecture by Professor Sacks was given 5 years ago, and it’s obvious that all his insightful intellectual views, which absolutely mirrors mine, have gone no where, sadly, in fact things seem to have gotten worse, with the invasion of Ukraine, and the pandemic, but it’s always darkest before the dawn, and hopefully those who understand this, will turn out in droves for the upcoming med term elections, to send the message that the things Jeffrey spoke so eloquently about will change for the better, hopefully!! I’ve enjoyed this, thank you you tube for posting…

“O Glorious Prince of the heavenly host, St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in the battle and in the terrible warfare that we are waging against the principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the evil spirits. Come to the aid of man, whom Almighty God created immortal, made in His own image and likeness, and redeemed at a great price from the tyranny of Satan. “Fight this day the battle of the Lord, together with the holy angels, as already thou hast fought the leader of the proud angels, Lucifer, and his apostate host, who were powerless to resist thee, nor was there place for them any longer in Heaven. That cruel, ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan who seduces the whole world, was cast into the abyss with his angels. Behold, this primeval enemy and slayer of men has taken courage. Transformed into an angel of light, he wanders about with all the multitude of wicked spirits, invading the earth in order to blot out the name of God and of His Christ, to seize upon, slay and cast into eternal perdition souls destined for the crown of eternal glory. This wicked dragon pours out, as a most impure flood, the venom of his malice on men of depraved mind and corrupt heart, the spirit of lying, of impiety, of blasphemy, and the pestilent breath of impurity, and of every vice and iniquity. “These most crafty enemies have filled and inebriated with gall and bitterness the Church, the spouse of the immaculate Lamb, and have laid impious hands on her most sacred possessions. In the Holy Place itself, where the See of Holy Peter and the Chair of Truth has been set up as the light of the world, they have raised the throne of their abominable impiety, with the iniquitous design that when the Pastor has been struck, the sheep may be scattered. “Arise then, O invincible Prince, bring help against the attacks of the lost spirits to the people of God, and give them the victory. They venerate thee as their protector and patron; in thee holy Church glories as her defense against the malicious power of hell; to thee has God entrusted the souls of men to be established in heavenly beatitude. Oh, pray to the God of peace that He may put Satan under our feet, so far conquered that he may no longer be able to hold men in captivity and harm the Church. Offer our prayers in the sight of the Most High, so that they may quickly find mercy in the sight of the Lord; and vanquishing the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, do thou again make him captive in the abyss, that he may no longer seduce the nations. Amen. V. Behold the Cross of the Lord; be scattered ye hostile powers. R. The Lion of the tribe of Judah has conquered, the root of David. V. Let Thy mercies be upon us, O Lord. R. As we have hoped in Thee. V. O Lord, hear my prayer. R. And let my cry come unto Thee. Let us pray. O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon Thy holy Name, and as supplicants, we implore Thy clemency, that by the intercession of Mary, ever Virgin Immaculate and our Mother, and of the glorious St. Michael the Archangel, Thou wouldst deign to help us against Satan and all the other unclean spirits who wander about the world for the injury of the human race and the ruin of souls. Amen.”

Judging by the comments below this discussion has largely fallen on deaf ears. It's reminiscent of a family breakdown in which the parents are so preoccupied with their disagreements that they are blissfully unaware of the catastrophic and permanent damage they are doing to their children. From my outside perspective the two contending ideologies currently vying for hegemony of the state are BOTH unsustainable. A government that convinces itself that pandering to multi national corporations and billionaires rather than the well being of the population as a whole is a viable strategy is setting itself up for civil unrest and revolution. You would think a nation born of a revolution might keep that in mind. Similarly, the growing movement on the left that seems obsessed with a victim mentality and a desire for radical social engineering can only end up by making itself stupid and inefficient. Every time an educational institution prioritises an ideal of social justice over the quality of its scholarship, every time they deny a position to a worthy student in favour of another less capable one on account that they identify as a gay whale they make the country a little bit more stupid. The US has seemingly managed to cherry pick ALL the worst parts of their national character and decided it would be a really, really good idea if they just concentrated on these, to the exclusion of those that once saw them as one of the most respected and admired nations on the planet. I'm reminded of a book by Barbara Tuchmann, "The March of Folly", well worth a read if you're inclined to ponder these sorts of things. It's all very short term thinking, and the nation can't progress because its leaders are too focused on winning the next election, any concerns about the real health of their society coming in a very distant second, "Me first and fuck the rest of you", that's how it is apparently.

We in the west have known this for the last 40 years if not more. So why has it taken this long? On the other hand too much mining has hardly helped. We've lived on earth for centuries so is the industrial revolution to blame or something else?

Sachs is great. Keunsberg or however it's spelt is the absolute opposite. I detest her for her role in dismantling Corbyn

I rooted for him years back. Im watching this now. Cant help to think from what im hearing from him, is he protecting the powers that be? A better tomorrow for the new world order? Sound off below, go gang.

How many times do we need to hear: It's time to rise, it's time to act NOW!

Jeffrey Sachs idealistic global needs and dreams are NOT my needs and dreams. In fact, I disagree with almost everything he says, with the exception of when he states that China's emissions alone, if allowed to carry on the way they are going, can and will destroy the environment.....Begs the question; Where are all the carbon taxes we in the west are paying really going ?..... Would anyone care for a some ROBOT made coffee to go with their "Guilt Tax" ?........Umm, waiter, There's a bolt in my coffee. wait !..wheres the waiter ?

Democracy is not primarily a way of life, but a set of procedures for organising and operating government. There are no inherent substantive ends or core beliefs that are essential to democratic rule. The majority of a community may embrace any set of core beliefs that it chooses.

Im going to use all of the authority and power given by God to speak truth to Power..I thought hte invasivenss the intrusiveness and all of the ugly rudiments of gentrifications, social injustice, abuse of authority would be behind me when I left the apartment i owned for 10 years in New Brunswick but it hasnt and since it hasnt and yet has only produced more profoundly bold responses of abuse I will continue to speak the truth I have learned over the years since 2015.

Interesting conversation.

By the way, who needs a guy like you???

A man of real vertues and a compassionate heart .a great American x

people need to change

"workers of the world unite, all we have to lose is our chains" Marx . I thought the interview was decent and worth giving a chance . He criticizes Obama, Trump and Hillary etc they all deserve much criticism as every leader should get and embrace.

Isn’t it ironic , Jeffrey is talking to one of Britain’s top propagandist for the British government in Laura

Does that means Nuclear is our only option? As AGW causing Solar panels and other renewables are useless as base load power. We have to have base load power.

You must have forgotten about the caravans

Seriously? Stick around and you will see it all with clarity not yet exercised!

I think we are too late.

Dr Jeffrey Sachs, how many US politicians on both sides of the divide can digest and adopt what you saying??

Correction; I visited China every year for the past thirty years

This includes 90% population reduction he doesn't mention.

特朗普主张 : "美国优先"与"美国利益优先"原則 如果所有其他国家提出类似的原则，世界将会如何混乱？ Trump proposition: the "U.S. priority" and the "U.S. interest priority" principle How chaotic the World would be if all other nations propose similar principle ? The US cannot and must not dictate the World.

whose the mod?

I think Sachs needs a more evocative image of the Good World. Who wants to sit in Starbucks forever? “Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defence each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded. And we could explore space together - both inner and outer - forever, in peace.” - Bill Hicks

His message can be Summed up by Money IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. He also correctly states that this is the Last Generation!!

All public discussions have one "KING" - the time, - and the moderator pushes "WORLD QUESTIONS" in the last five minutes - and says, hurry up...short answers - isn't that idiotic!!! - Why don't you have 6-8 clever people in a kind of "conclave" - for a few days, talking for real hours into the night - and walk in the aftermoon,.... then take all thise discussions on videofilms, produce a directors cut (long) and a short-version (short for a 15min documentary) - and put it online in public TV; and KZfaq etc. ....

Don’t trust this man. He’s part of the problem. He lives the smell of his own smug farts.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌟

conductorless orchestra? isn't that Jazz? :v

Great talk and a lot of stupid comments

Don’t look up!

Any one that wants a New World Order and follows Globalism are people that need assistance in getting through life. They require someone to say "Jump" and they only have to answer "how high". If they think they will have any say in what is requested from them good or bad is totally delusional. Once we go down that road there is no going back 1984 accomplished Hitlers dream complete.
