Love this guy. He is one of my living heroes, a national treasure. It’s sad that no western governments listen to him and follow his advise.

Jeffery sacks is a real patriot. Thank you for telling the truth. I salute you sir.

Excellent conversation with one of the US' brightest and honorable economists.

Great speech as usual. I can listen for hours. I lived in NEW YORK just after 9/11.lived th ere for 2 years and moved back to Canada and decided never to return to the US. I am now in Philippines during covid19 lockdown with no regrets.

America should have wise man like him

This guy is an absolute Rockstar! He should be at the head of the UN. His ideas and ethos should be put into practice for world peace, human dignity and human positive development. I believe he is a true living hero. Unfortunately, the evil greed of a few always cancels the bright stars of this world such as him, Nikola Tesla, Patrice Lumumba and others. I wish to live in a world where the true leaders are in charge. The ones who possess integrity, compassion, with the absolute absence of greed, racism, colonialism and power drunkenness.

If only we could have discussions/lectures like this on mainstream american television!

For 30+ years, I've enjoyed Jeffrey Sachs' articles in newspapers and magazines, and now talks on KZfaq. Thank you Sachs and KZfaq!

An economist with a gentle heart and sound mind.

THANK YOU JEFFREY......ITS SO REFRESHING TO HERE THE TRUTH COME OUT OF SOMEONES MOUTH

What Dr Sachs describes is the reason I chose to leave America after 21yrs in 2003. I Developed Real Estate In almost every State in USA, I saw the dreadful state of its Poor of all Colours. I never wish to return, to a Country which Inflicts so much Death across our World. I wish USA had more people of the same Ilk as Jeffrey Sachs

See how one can be brilliant, accomplished and not a total asshole? See how one can be influential and still kind, moral, thoughtful? Sigh, I love this writer!

Hilarous remaks by Dr Jeffrey Sachs.. brilliant insights! He sheds excellent light on recent international history.

An American that I respect

This guy is so wise unfortunately a person like this will never lead the country thanks to democracy.

Awesome discussion Prof Sachs 👏👏

Dr. Jefferey Sachs represents the hope and light that may guide US society to a morally correct path.

American like Prof. Sachs really win the heart of world.

If I could "like" this a million times, I would.

An exceptionally virtuous and honourable man and philosopher whose wisdom is invaluable. Please listen very carefully to his words. Worth listening to again and again. He is the ideal man to head the UN sustainable development goals program.

A most illuminating conversation from a most enlightened economist !

How America and the world as a hole would be a fair and good place with Mr sachs.in charge of the administration

I am here for Professor Jeffrey Sachs

I am mystified as this man is not a household name across the world. This should have really gone viral, for several reasons, including viral ones.

For many years now, I have admired Mr. Sachs for his intellect and good human, social core. This interview underlines my sentiments. In the USA we needs many more Mr. Sachs and we will then be a better nation.

The stuff about Paulson and Goldman Sachs was eye-opening. USA needs major reforms

An honest speech and thanks 🙏

Great scholar for the world. We should all try to disseminate his ideas around the world.

It is nice to hear someone talk of kindness and fair play. A kindness not directed just to a national good but to a global good. Should this talk influence just one person with political influence it is a success

rare genuine person, therefore respectable

One of the most important Oxford Union ever. And it's relatively low viewcount is the problem with current society. People are not interested in matured and sensible behaviors.

I didn’t think that anyone in America would think and believe the same belief’s that I learned from living 21 yrs in USA. This speech was incredibly encouraging for me, I feel better having listened to him.

Profound and hugely insightful scholar. He and other American thinkers need massive levels of broadcasting coverage in the US. The rest of us can learn a lot from his analysis.

One of the best talks I've listened to in a long time

'Shred of decency' - what a wonderful phrase...

The most sensible and honest man to advise on the right system for Governments

Most of US's foreign aid does not go to poor countries but mainly to Israel.

We need more smart human being like Dr. Sach.

What a remarkable interview and what a remarkable Economist. Unfortunately it needs another folks. This Interview is several years old …. but nothing has been changed.

You will never see this on American television the live Feed goes

It's an honor to be in Oxford explaining about sustainable development,politics, American mistakes ,that's made us to know what had been monstrosity,yes that was a spooky era.Is it that many countries of world in Asia or Europe there is no politics,there is lack of sustainable development,and what is future of Europe and Russia and china,how the UK will take up recent stance over Europe ,would the south Asian countries suffer like Pakistan . Yet are we to see more?

Intellectual honesty isn’t cynicism. Sachs represents part of the American conscience that will hopefully reshape public discourse towards a more benign outlook from within the American polity.

Wise man... Sadly someone like him could never be president... He reminds me of a more stoic version of Ron Paul.

Bravo Jeffrey-Aristotle wold be proud of you--yassoo

Yes, Great gentleman. One of my favourite role models and heroes. He is indeed a living treasure and a brave man who dares to speak the truth in the face of America's brutishness and criminal actis all over the world !

It's such a damn shame we don't have more people like him making the critical decisions we face. When I think of that clown, slathered up in bronzer, sitting on the toilet tweeting out foreign policy I want to give up.

Not for those who love WARS and LOOTING OF OTHER RESOURCES

I wish we have wise people like this in China. So we can have a good look at ourself

Thank you, Jeffrey. Your timeline is spot on. "Clear, shared goals" long overdue.

A good rashinal American with empathy, compassion. ..good vertues. .

38:02 to 38:31: the purpose of politics, we all should know this truth before ever having the right to cast a vote. All politicians should face treason if they do not uphold that duty.

Jeffrey is definitely accurate. Facts over feelings ...

'Let things be monitored democratically but not run democratically' how true.

fantastic talk

In praise gratitude and compassion

Nice man!!! Maybe there is hope for humanity. Why has this happened to the world?? Reganomics, Thatcherism????

作為一位巨觀經濟學家，最重要的貢獻就是為社會反省mind-set 經不經得起變遷的考驗。更好往那里發展。 哥倫比亞大學的Jeffrey Sachs教授就是這樣一位大師。 很糟糕的是為什麽這樣一位智者却沒有被全球影響力最大，而且自認當仁不讓領導世界的美國政府納入核心智囊團中，聽取真知卓見，納入政策核心，這原是美國最大軟實力之一：一群最傑出人才組成的一流大學陣容。 最近五十年美國政策愈來愈讓人陌生，一直到川普拜登到了頂峯。知識，公平看不見而利益interest是不必臉紅的mindset. Trump 是一個不要臉不在意世界不負責的政客。Biden 則是抛下過去一生的認知倒向美國利益的政客，對美國社會大分裂無動於衷，對美國己喪失領導信任無警覺。Sachs教授的心平氣和能不能救你掛心的美國？台灣有沒有這樣的空間讓老百姓，尤其是年輕人聽到智者的聲音呢？

Great talk! Inspiring...

US aid comes in the forms of loans, and Michael Hudson found they make a profit from it.

All of the following topics are just my opinion. Aid is the responsibility of people, not the government. I don’t consider the United States rich considering we have almost $30 trillion in debt. As long as we are quoting President Kennedy he also said, “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” In my mind this places responsibility on the shoulders of individuals and removes it from the government. Greed is fueled by the media and Hollywood.

At 10:40 he say Saddam Hussein but he meant Bashar Al assad ...

Love you too all People Amen godbless Jesus Christ Amen

He should b the leader of the WORLD

Some one with the brains and guts to tell the truth

Each time the name Oxford university falls, I find something good. It's like really able to keep very high standards in many ways.

The world best democracy..offers a choice between a narcissist and a senile old man ! Democracy...does it guarantee freedom...ask the journalists who do not tread the lines...ask snowen !

Jeffrey Sachs should be US Secretary of State.

Nothing WRONG for populism. It means the man can Work for their people.

Mr Jeffrey Sachs is a very brave man who dares to challenge the bias views of the western media . I see a ray of hope for humanities because he is a fair and just voice among the many who chose to remain silence.

We are subjected to greed , but it can be resisted and eliminated by practise

Harmony in our society is not valued by the rich and powerful in the US. That is sad.

“He is known as one of the world's leading experts on economic development and the fight against povert.” What about sustainable development?

I wonder how Jeffrey feels these days, about his earlier shock-therapy work in South America and Eastern Europe.

Should have point on British empire influence on American dumbbell politics!

With the state the United Kingdom as in at the moment, please come and be an advisor to our government. Please Runner government. We don't have a single politician that is anywhere near your standard.

While I dont agree completely with Sachs I would lo e to see an exchange of ideas between him and someone who has the Friedman view.

Dr Jeffery Sachs, he should be the world leader, he is one of the most intelligent, honest with ethic and moral the world need more of him and more of Max Blumenthal, Aaron Mate, Chris Hedges, George Galloway, John Pilger, Medea Benjaman, Norman Finkelstein, Dahlia Wasfi and Dr B Aljaferi,/بشار الجعفري the syrian spoke man in three languages Arabic, English and French and more of these great truth teller and peace maker.

I think we need a website listing people of the world that we should shun because of their behavior towards the welfare and safety of the worlds people.

i dont know much about this man, neither do i understand issues he told, just feel that he is really in pain.

Greed seems to be culturally linked to deceipt and flaunting fashion. It seems to lack emotional depth. Virtue has to be mentally embraced and the antions will fall into place.

The Prof is reasonable, rational and sensible as always. It's hard to disagree with him on anything. Unlike the, mostly, myopic fools who run the world's countries.

Great talk!

this seems like an apology for his previous banking views

THANK YOU ! I RECOMEND YOUR TALKS ABOUT THE UKRANIAN BLACKMAIL AND WAR .

I would mention one country which even if is dictatorship, is rich, good education and exceptional live quality and USA is not bombarding them in the name of democracy or national security, it is Singapore. So it is possible independently of the system, just need a few decent people

Honestly I think it’s folly for European nations to be subsidizing the population boom in the third world with foreign aid and medical and health programs. The healthcare systems in Africa are all Western NGOs. Every single western aid project should be required to have birth control and population reduction components. Africa kicked European colonists out, yet they expect to still benefit from Western aid. Europeans have to start being more self-interested about this because the current paradigm has the West encouraging an African population boom which is overflowing into Europe and America. It’s the engine of the great replacement.

Jeffery Sachs He gets it right but fools do not.

What an honor to sit in the same chair that BUZZ sat in. Ha. Even a broken clock...

Cool

This guy is Breaking Bad--- LOL

Make Multinational companies pay there fare share Taxes in Developing Countries

Funny how Lord Acton is always misquoted. He didn't say power corrupts: he said, 'Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.'

"Think and be nice."

38:27 he deserved some applause but no one seemed to react!

Inspirational! Think and be nice! Sounds a bit like Google

Beautiful minds of the likes of sach are not always happens to be the presidents until that happens the world will be the right place for everyone

But little aid for its own citizens...aid in the form of wages in alignment with the actual value of individual contribution (which would mainly manifest itself as an adjustment downward for the marauding econopaths at the top).

Mr. Sach's remarks about Trump were un expected. I wonder if he thinks the same about Trump today?

Jeffrey Sachs is an economist by trade. His early career role in the 1980's and 90's seemed to be to play the more gifted mouthpiece of the Neo-Liberal E-CONomic doctrines that a decade earlier Neo-Conservatives embraced upon the rift between careerist Red Baiter Richard Nixon's executive decision to freeze prices and wages in the face of uncontrollable war booming inflation. This angered many of the career Cold Warrior E-CONomic propagandists like University of Chicago's Milton Friedman who began to Red Bait Nixon for resorting to a Command Market Control to resolve the perennial monetary stalking horse of devalued currency and boon to the Hedge Fund market, namely inflation. Jeffrey Sachs came with the mouth that spoke of idealism, while Milton Friedman's federal contracted campus and mass media tours touting the platforms of both of our duopoly political parties following the Revolution that was not televised, the Neo-Liberal E-CON revolution that won the lustful embrace of once Protectionist and America First policy-advocating Republicans who turned on a dime in Nixon's dog days and sided with Milton Friedman and the University of Chicago's Blowback doctrines of Neo-Liberal E-CONomics weaponized and funded for decades via The Mighty Wurlitzer for Cold War and the pursuit of personal fortune purposes. You know the GREED IS GOOD meme that came to quickly dominate corporate board rooms, vulture fund prospectuses and the standard tools of Neo-Liberal E-CON doctrine, summed up elegantly as "Socialize the costs and risks while privatizing the profits." Jeffrey Sachs rose in the ranks of his mentors Robert Rubin, Lawrence Summers, Alan Greenspan, Martin Feldstein by speaking more "idealistically" and "nicely" while participating in the Washington strong-arming of the unraveling Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain states like Poland and Latin American nation-states barely recovered from the Operation Condor militaristic enforcement of Washington's projection of Neo-Liberal E-CONomic Political Economy. Not to mention the Kissinger & Associates clients who were the New Mandarins of the Asian Tigers, led by Nixon-Kissinger's emergent China as the current global leader of State Capitalism in the war versus Western Predatory Capitalism. Market Capitalism somewhere along the line dropped the "Democratic" from the Milton Friedman era moniker of Democratic Market-based economics. Alan Greenspan is still alive and pitching his policy prescriptions and defending his past grip as Director of the Global Reserve currency at the Federal Reserve Bank through Republican and Democratic presidential administrations and alternating congressional majorities. Our 50 years of Wage Stag-Nation and Daddy Warbucks Permanent War Economy was helped over the hump of objections and failed policies once tracked and occasionally reported on in U.S. mass mediated debates and discussions by the sorts of elite university economists such as Jeffrey Sachs. Get them in the same room together, perhaps with a more Public Interest purpose than Greenspan's decision to appear on Democracy Now to sell his career and policy memoirs to a progressive audience (everyone else except for the more radical left had accepted every Greenspan pronouncement as a Gospel of Prosperity): www.democracynow.org/2007/9/24/alan_greenspan_vs_naomi_klein_on Now with the global economy sinking Mr Sachs has switched sides without even so much as a reckoning with his past role in the spread and deepening of global impoverishment from third world developing nations right through the Hoovervilles of Homeless surrounding the vacant financialized condo and market-rate leasing luxury towers that have transformed from housing projects built as Public Private Partnerships (like Enron's Public Private Municipal Energy and Power companies) to what another more compelling Columbia University professor in the "soft science" of Sociology, Saskia Sassen terms "Security Boxes In the Skies" towering over the homeless encampments in most of the world's wealthiest cities. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbyqZa-LvruZk2w.html Mitch Ritter\Paradigm Sifters, Shifters and Song Chasers Lay-Low Studios, Ore-Wa Media Discussion List
