Kudos to Sachs. For decades, the U.S. Fed Gov't has had a foreign policy which is egregiously filled with hubris, stuck in the past, and just plain dangerous (never mind stupid). It continues to this day, and it makes little to no difference which major political party is in power. I've believed all this for at least twenty years. Sachs confirms it; so do many others.
My primary interest in world affairs for many years has been ecology and sustainability. Nevertheless, it became clear to me a long time ago that without a sane foreign policy in DC and elsewhere, the world would be facing continual eco-catastrophes. Why? Because Earth is one giant ecosystem, and overcoming eco-problems requires global cooperation. Global conflict destroys any chance for those efforts. If things don't change significantly, there will not be a sustainable planet for our grandkids.
Please listen carefully to Professor Sachs' presentation. His life has been devoted to sustainability economics, mitigating poverty, and helping countries in crisis. He works not only in academia, but also as an advisor to various world leaders. This interview pulls no punches. Plus, his grasp of modern industrial history is superb.

Not only my opinion. Be Well
