Jeffrey Sachs on China's "Historic" Push for Multipolar World to End U.S. Domination

- China is taking an increasingly assertive role in world affairs, helping to broker a restoration of relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, offering a 12-point peace plan for Ukraine, and strengthening its relationships with European and Latin American powers. Last week, China continued its diplomatic outreach by offering to hold talks between Israel and Palestine. "China doesn't want the United States to be the preeminent power. It wants to live alongside the United States," says economist Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University and president of the U.N. Sustainable Development Solutions Network. He has also served as adviser to three U.N. secretaries-general and currently serves as a sustainable development solutions advocate under Secretary-General António Guterres. His latest article is headlined "The Need for a New US Foreign Policy."

Multipolar world vs One bully, and the bully's accomplice (UK).
Kudos to Jeffrey Sachs. Please keep up your great contributions which Western mainstream "news" media have failed miserably.
Some economists have projected that both the U.S. and parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my savings crumble to dust.
It's a delicate season now, so you can do little or nothing on your own. Hence I’ll suggest you get yourself a financial expert that can provide you with valuable financial information and assistance
Very true! I've been able to scale from $50K to $189k in this red season because my Financial Advisor figured out Defensive strategies which help portfolios be less vulnerable to market downturns
@@kenanporubsky2122 How can I reach this adviser of yours? because I'm seeking for a more effective investment approach on my savings?
@@bob.weaver72 My advisor is ‘’Catherine Morrison Evans’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
The world is grateful to Prof Sachs for his relentless efforts to bring about peace for all mankind in the world. Thank you, Prof . Sachs!
"A US led world"? Who are you kidding? US led, more like US dominated world that is why the US has 800 military bases in other countries AND the BIGGEST army in the history of the world. A country does not need military bases everywhere to lead the world, unless it decides that there is only ONE WAY, its way.
Like US domination over the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Panama, Dominican Republic, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Libya, Laos, Syria, Indonesia, Grenada, Haiti, Mexico, Canada... Hell there are so many I do not have time to list them all. According to Kelly and Laycock's book, the United States has invaded or fought in 84 of the 193 countries recognized by the United Nations and has been militarily involved with 191 of 193, a staggering 98 percent.
You might not know it, but the rest of the world does, it has felt it, and is fed up, just like me, an American citizen, fed up with this country which is not really a country but a MAFIA. What really irks me the most is that with all the taxes I have paid there are 42 MILLION Americans, 12 MILLION of them children, ONE OUT OF SIX, that are starving and our MAFIA in control DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!! It hurts me to admit it, but the world would be a better place WITHOUT the USA in it.
A bit extreme but full of truth!
I wholeheartedly agree. I just hope more people would know about this as there are still lots of them who look at the US with rose tinted glasses. They can't wrap it around their head that the US gov is the devil incarnate
Will you be in trouble for writing this? Probably not. Maybe that's the difference between the American mafia and the Russian mafia. The American mafia is so powerful they really don't need to care about what ordinary Americans say in public about them.
There will always be one mabey two major world powers there at the present only three that can possibly be the world top power USA china or Russia if you were a nation who would you want as top power
Let alone what america does to its own so called citizens.
Black People in america has never seen fairness.
Cointelpro etc etc
If you want to know what kind of world a nation wants...start by examining how they treat their own people...
Indeed, most Russians don't have indoor plumbing.
Apparently you tankie morons seem to fantasize about that despotic regime as some kind of aspiration.
🎯
United States treats Black Americans, who built America, like crap!
Yes, freely selling guns to the own people for shooting each other. Now selling weapons to other nations...😂
Alas, most people - i.e. most electors - will undoubtedly prefer a consumerist ‘way of life’, and drinking any type of Cola instead of plain water. Which also means, over time, both a destructive + eventually suicidal habit on a daily basis. (BTW, this is supposed to be a metaphor).
Thank you for having invited Prof. J Sachs. He is my lecturer, I'm only a grandmother, but I'm following his lectures on CZcams. Prof. Sachs, God bless you and your loved ones.
Prof. Sachs is a true statesman of peace. The world should support him to bring about peace to the world!
A very important message to American people about what’s really happening in the world. The US media doesn’t want to tell us the other side of story.
A message to the Chinese people.....the Chinese government doesn't even allow the telling of any side of the story other than its' own version.

Thank God for men like Professor Sachs.
He simply doesn't have any time for the bull shit.
He's here to get the correct information, analyze it, and figure out where to go from there.
And we could use HUNDREDS of him.
Jeffery Sachs shock therapy literally helped create the oligarch monsters in Russia that the American Right copied
Jeffrey Sachs is a fool and a conman just like the rest of the elite
Thank him for what? The mess baby boomers have left for the younger generations will have to clean up. Yeah thanks Professor Sachs......for nothing. If I ever have a need to destroy a paradise I'll call you, the liberals, conservatives and socialist progressives in you are group for help. Just leave us all alone please. We'll find our own way.
LOL a few is more than enough
because God bless America, the U.S. is one country under God, and God is democratic. The Jews' vote decided whether God should have a son. The Jews voted for God to have a child with Joseph's virgin wife, Mary, before Joseph. God must get Jews to vote before screwing around another man's wife.
Derp
This is one of the best analyses of the actual situation I have ever seen from American media, finally someone understands how the world is truly working from the perspective of every country’s national interests. Thank you!
YES BUT LETS BE HONEST, WE should always aim for less dictatorships instead of more as they always lead to bad things and poor human rigts.

Sachs is a true intellectual. Been criticized for his big push theory. But if he was wrong, it was not on purpose. He has a genuine heart to solve the world's problems. Love and respect!!!
This is the kind of information we don't hear from corporate mainstream so-called "news" media. Thank you, Democracy Now!
Fox and CNN have always intended to push for the narrative of containment and war against Russia and China
DN is mainstream news but I like Jeffrey’s takes nonetheless.
Thank you yes 😃#
They are propaganda media
@@optimal8155 Yeah, DN has a fairly luke-warm left-of-neoliberal slant.
DN - Thank you so much for having Jeffery Sachs on. He is always a light shining through the Propaganda Shit Storm. Shut down the warmongers and sue for PEACE!
We will not sue for peace with a nation that has been trying to destroy us for 500 years, and has now invaded us yet again.
If you think you want peace more than Ukrainians you are arrogant and delusional, we simply want a permanent peace not some half measure that will see ruSSia invade us again in a few years.
No worries, just send your kids to Taiwan to defend democracy from the Chinese attack. God will split Taiwan straight and drown all Chinese invaders. God is democratic and will bless the US against godless China. There are no problems that a good war can't solve. War solves all problems. So, you must hate China and want to kill the Chinese because our government never lies when it talks about China. The US government only tells the truth about China. After all, China certainly has weapons of mass destruction, which is reason enough for the US to go to war with China. Therefore, when it comes to war with China, all Americans must be willing to fight the Chinese, rush to China or Taiwan, and die there happily for democracy.
Sadly you cannot shut down the Military Industrial Complex or the NRA --- they finance the campaigns of American politicians and through them they RULE America
Yes, sue for capitulation of democratic Ukraine to the atrocity-committing aggressor-dictatorship that invaded it. Sue for the betrayal of the self-governing democracy in Taiwan to the dictatorship in China.
13:03: "We have this very funny expression called a 'rule-based international order'; the U.S. government uses it everyday. But what does it mean? Who writes the rules? And what most of the world wants, in fact, is rules written in a multipolar or multilateral setting, not rules written by the U.S. and a few friends and allies."
Yes. We need rules written by the dictatorships, especially the committers of genocide against Uighurs, suppression of democracy in Hong Kong in violation of international agreements signed by the PRC, persecution of Falun Gong adherents through imprisonment, torture, murder and forced organ-harvesting, repression of Tibetan self-determination for 70 years, chief sponsor of the most repressive government in the world in North Korea, and of the Myanmar junta as it commits genocide againt Rohingya Muslims, just as it was the chief ally of the former Sudanese regime as it committed genocide, and main sponsor of the genocidal Khmer Rouge. We need the democracies to shut up about human rights.
In a "multilateral world" led by the two nuclear superpower dictatorships and their nuclear North Korean ally, the new "rules" will not allow complaints about "so-called human rights", as those governments are fond of calling them. There will be no rule barring invasion of and annexation of Ukraine or Georgia by Russia (or invasion of any other country deemed in Russia's "sphere of influence"), nor any rule prohibiting China's impending invasion of Taiwan and suppression of democracy there, or seizure of the South China Sea in violation of current international law, treaties, the World Court, and the wishes of countries of the region (Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, etc.). Thank you professor. Dictatorship Now!
America notoriously spend more on preparing for war than relying to prevent it.
Military preparedness becomes the highest priority. In President Bush’s inaugural address:-
“We build our defences beyond challenge, lest weakness invite challenge.”
When China does that, it’s called aggression!🤔
Professor Jeffrey , as usual, you are spot on!
And US wanting to face off against China?? Why not collaborate with mutual respect?
If others steal, you can also steal? If others annex territories, you can also annex the South China Sea and Taiwan. Tibetan and Uighur culture is surpressed because not Chinese. Internet access to the BBC is blocked. Everything that is not supportive of Chinese dictatorship is considered outlawed.
the truth lies on the surface, America needs to defeat two great countries Russia and China to rule the world... everything
it's difficult
He's dreaming. It's not possible with the CCP.
I am an African. To Prof. Jeffrey Sachs - "you are human and obviously have shortcomings, your wisdom is not only academic, it is Godly inspired. Stay blessed."
nö yör zimpäpvv€h v?v
He has his shortcomings all right, and one of them is that he is a pathological liar, if this talk is any indication. Go look up some of the numbers he gave and statements he made. They were absolute fantasy. China does not have the same economy as the US, not in terms of trade, and not even close, the US is about 50% more than China's in GDP. And the percentage of world trade, the dollar is four times every other currency combined. Please, look up the numbers, don't take my word for them, and REALLY don't take his. These are just two examples, I could make the same arguments for almost everything he said. It frightens me that he has the ear of UN policy makers, and it explains a LOT. The UN is an organization that serves basically nobody anymore, from what I can see. One year and 80 days into the war, and they have JUST figured out that it is going on and perhaps they should join in to help.

Prof Jeffrey Sachs, have my highest respect! 🙋🙋
Excellent analysis! Dr. Sach's humanity and intellect shines through his comments!
Thank you for speaking the truth, Prof Sachs! Respect!!
Speaking "the truth" in a country that lets him speak whatever he wants, whether he is getting paid for it or is just full of it.
Here's more truth: as it is engaging in performative diplomacy, China is also becoming close to totalitarian internally. I would not romanticize that country or pretend that trading the US empire for a Chinese empire will save us. Totally ridiculous. We are and have been dangerous in many ways-- and China is ALSO a threat to human rights internally as well as in other parts of the world.
In 250 years of existence as a nation, the US has fought (some successful, some not, some in complete failures) against 29 sovereign countries. (In Fact, since 1785, US have been involved, for 219 years, in some kind of war. And this wars, against all varieties of sovereign nations. From going against the Sultan of Morocco, to invading the tiny island of Grenada. Well, this means that in its entire history, it has only had 17 years of peace, and even fewer, cuz here the almost 5 years (1861-1865), of its Civil War of Secession are not counted (Union/Confederates), since this war was not with another country, but against US. And the wars against the Native Nations of America are not counted too, for the same reason). Anyway: US fought against 29 countries. It has "Grown" 711 times the size of its territory from the original 13 colonies. It has provoked with total impunity, Genocides, inside and outside its own borders, and assassinations of Gov’t. Leaders, Coups d'État and Economic Blockades in 6 UN member nations. (Between 1947 and 1989, the US tried to change other nations gov’ts. 73 times. It includes 66 covert Ops. And 7 overt ones. In Civil Wars: The US has taken advantage of and intervened without justification in the following Civil Wars: In Cuba (1898 and 1960). In Haiti (1813 and then 1915-1934). In Colombia (1899-1902 and 1948). In Mexico (1847 and 1914 and again in 1916). In Russia (1918). In the "Republic Banana Wars" of Central America (1912-1934). In Venezuela (1945 and again in 1948). In China (1857, and 1900, and again in 1945-1946-1949). In Korea (1950-1953). In Viet Nam (1959-1975). In Panama (1964 and again 1989). In Central Africa (1969-1974 and 1982-1988). In Nicaragua (1937 and 1985). In Bosnia (1995). In the Philippines (1898 and 1900)... In Kosovo, Libya, Lebanon, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Afghanistan, etc.). And more: US has almost 800 Military Bases scattered around the world; 93 of which are against China. On the other hand, China and Korea (The "Axis of Evil"), in 1,000 years of history have NEVER invaded anyone. These nations have fought their Civil Wars, defended themselves against foreign invasions, and secured their immediate borders, but they have never been meddling or aggressor countries. Do you know how many Military Bases China or Korea have outside their territory? None. Zero. Any. NADA! They do not have a single Base. These are verifiable facts. Neither China nor Korea will invade the world; US does... that's DONE, as US does in the Middle East. Iran also does not have a SINGLE MILITARY BASE outside its national territory, and it is surrounded by 16 US Bases, and it is US who call the Iranians Terrorists. Well, very good. You already know. Now, compare the Greatness of the US with the Greatness of China. The "Greatness" of the US is built on the foundations of Piracy, Slavery, Genocide, the Assassination of opponents, Opium Traffic, or Cocaine in its case, and is under the foundations of the weakness of other sovereign nations.
Thank You 💯 eternal gratitude for your time and energy ❣️

Excellent analysis by Prof. Jeffery Sachs, many people are not aware of. Thank you for this. I think that USA should understand that others also have rights. And which World Medal is USA aspiring for? In this age that poverty is everywhere nobody is thinking about who has the world power It is not important! We just want to live in peace and enjoy life. If United States can help make peace and not cause wars, may be it can have the World Power Medal. But for now people think United States, Britain, France and some other European countries are pains in the neck of the world.
And what ? North Korea and Russia are our friends ?
If USA is pain in neck then china is cancer pain in the brain when they claim almost the entire south China sea extending thousands of mile from shire when every country in the entire world only get about 200 miles, china disregard international law ruling, they have so called coast guard ships over 3,000 miles away from china and closer to Philippines blocking bullying Philippines fisherman who are trying to fish within their 200 mile economic zone.
It's like me going to my neighbours house all the way to their front door and preventing them from getting their mail down their driveway.
A coast guard ship working closer to other countries is no coast guard, coast guard with a 76mm front mounted cannon ? Does china fend off illegal immigrants of drugs coming in ? It is a military ship, it is massive compared to other countries coast guard, about the size of a destroyer.
Since the OPIUM wars America has been a global bully. Nobody has any ''rights '' in a world where America dictates who may speak and when. USA created a scenario by which the rest of the world can only enjoy freedom by USA;s destruction and overthrow of the US world order. This is the collision course America has steered for itself.
I think the US would rather go to war.
Thank you Prof. Jeffrey Sachs for helping US politicians and Congressional leaders understand the situation.
Thank you for telling it as it is -the truth related to U waste of US dollars. US picking a fight and making Russia and China uncomfortable by getting too close…
Thank you for clarifying the real issues!
If US Admin had been a caring nation and not spending 90% of its time since its removal of American Natives to form USA, there would be no need to urgently push for a multi polar world. Without collusion with past white colonial powers, US hegemony couldn't be implemented. BRICS countries must be extra careful in dealing with all ex-colonial powers particularly the G7 nations.

Sadly, they left seriousness in the rearview mirror long ago, like at least since Trump was elected.

Excellent. Jeffrey is Completely Right. He is few of Americans who are very Just and Honest and who knows the world issues. The world need mosre Such Great experts who support the World Peace ❤.
Great explanation made by Jeffrey Sachs. We need more people like him who tell it like it is.
We need more Americans paying attention to what he says.
Yes I totally agreed ❤
Mr. Sachs is a man you can trust 😊
I think so too!
He is a terrorist, look what he did to Russia, he advised the fascist neoliberal oligarchy that screwed over the country, convinced Yeltsin to sell off nationalized industry for pennies, and let businesses decide their own prices, which caused hyperinflation. Sachs is a right wing sociopathic terrorist and is a shame people are forgetting that
Great interview. Jeffrey Sachs is so good at increasing our understanding of how we got here. An empire that overspends on military and underspends at home will just implode.
Indeed ruSSia will implode.
@ Pesti Mom That's Right. Let Your Enemies Over Run The Country, Remove Your Rights And Freedoms, And Then WHINE AND CRY. Complaining WHY, Your Country Gave Up On Military Protection. As You Sit Freezing In A Siberian Gulag. How FKN DUMB Are You???

Jeffrey Sachs is brilliant. Thanks, love him. ❤❤❤
Please be cautious about Mr Sachs. He was part of the post-soviet american establishment that implemented policies that contributed to the creation of Russia’s current oligarch billionaire class. He makes claims that neatly align with Russia’s imperialist talking points. He recently visited with Viktor Orban. He makes many valid points about the errors of US foreign policy (not hard to do) but his idea for for peace is one preserved by a power balance between two or more imperialist oppressors with their own allotted spheres of influence.
The Budapest agreement, signed in 1996, cannot be ignored!

China and Eurasian Powers in a Multipolar World Order 2.0
Security, Diplomacy, Economy and Cyberspace
Edited By Mher Sahakyan
This book argues that the world order is no longer unipolar, and the war in Ukraine proves this fact. [Taylor & Francis] 13:27
Thank you for telling the truth.
Brilliant discussion! I applaud DN! 🎉
In the 1990s, Robert Kagan, along with Bill Kristol, who is on Institute for Study of War(ISW) board, founded the Project for a New American Century, which in the view of some observers played an important role in convincing George W. Bush to invade Iraq.
The Kagan-Kristol Project for a New American Century(PNAC) was funded by arms makers, thanks largely to the work of Lockheed Martin executive Bruce P. Jackson, who became a director of PNAC. Jackson had earlier organized the US Committee to Expand NATO, which successfully lobbied for what its name suggests it lobbied for. Some people think NATO expansion-in particular George W. Bush’s 2008 addition of Ukraine to the list of future members-helped cause the Ukraine war, but in any event NATO expansion has over the past quarter century made lots and lots of money for Lockheed Martin and other American arms makers.

Yes. We need rules written by the dictatorships, especially the committers of genocide against Uighurs, suppression of democracy in Hong Kong in violation of international agreements signed by the PRC, persecution of Falun Gong adherents through imprisonment, torture, murder and forced organ-harvesting, repression of Tibetan self-determination for 70 years, chief sponsor of the most repressive government in the world in North Korea, and of the Myanmar junta as it commits genocide againt Rohingya Muslims, just as it was the chief ally of the former Sudanese regime as it committed genocide, and main sponsor of the genocidal Khmer Rouge. We need the democracies to shut up about human rights.
In a "multilateral world" led by the two nuclear superpower dictatorships and their nuclear North Korean ally, the new "rules" will not allow complaints about "so-called human rights", as those governments are fond of calling them. There will be no rule barring invasion of and annexation of Ukraine or Georgia by Russia (or invasion of any other country deemed in Russia's "sphere of influence"), nor any rule prohibiting China's impending invasion of Taiwan and suppression of democracy there, or seizure of the South China Sea in violation of current international law, treaties, the World Court, and the wishes of countries of the region (Vietnam, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, etc.). Thank you professor. Dictatorship Now!
It's the *failure* of NATO expansion to Ukraine and Georgia which caused the war (and "has made lots of money for Lockheed Martin"). Putin has been very explicit that the countries of the former Soviet Union belong to Russia and have no right to independence. He laid this out in a lengthy article in 2020, in numerous speeches including days before the invasion of Ukraine, and in speeches going back to his declaration years ago that the breakup of the Soviet Union was the "worst catastrophe of the 20th century", i.e. worse than WW2, the Holocaust, and WW1. At the same time, he has always regarded countries under NATO's protective umbrella as - to use Mark Galeotti's expression - bullet-proof, that is, untouchable. That was his real objection to "NATO expansion" to Georgia and Ukraine. NATO has been on Russia's and the USSR's border since its inception in 1949 (Turkey), and that was never an issue. What *was* an issue was the "threat" (in the dictator's eyes) to expand protection to Georgia and Ukraine, which would have prevented Putin from invading those countries, crushing their democracies and self-determination, and seizing their land and annexing it back into Russia. This professor here has got everything completely backwards, but that's no surprise, since he's just parroting word for word a line you can hear on Russian state media every day. The democracies' real mistake - call it a crime if you want to be sanctimonious as is the style on this channel - is to talk up the possibility of those countries joining NATO while doing nothing about it (out of craven fear of Putin). Countries being considered for membership should immediately receive full NATO protection while their application is under consideration. That would have prevented war.

The US government's sanctions on Russia and its support for the Zelensky government send the following message to the Russian government and to the world: It is about time that Russia learns and accepts that only the US has the right to undertake regime change since the U.S.A. are democratic and Russia is not. Sometimes for practicality, we are happy to have dictators and nasty regimes have our support. Our double standards do not give Russia the right to defy the Western liberal and democratic rules-based system set up by us.
Ukraine is a democracy and if they want to vote to be in NATO and all around them are NATO members then they too should be in NATO and be able to defend themselves from the Russian aggression we have just recently seen, which is a repeat of what they did in the last century which killed millions. Stop listening to Russian propaganda, read more on the history of the whole area, which is way older than Russia, and move into a more enlightened future.
@@sheilamacdougal4874 Precisely. Russian mythology has so permeated many people’s thinking that they don’t see the aggression or Russia right before their eyes. They apparently lack a thorough understanding of the history of the Ukraine and that whole area. And they certainly aren’t thinking of the effected of letting a petroleum oligarch like Putin push his agenda of more fossil fuels for the world.
Thanking Ms. Goodman and Mr. Gonzales for their interview, I would like to congratulate Mr Jeoffrey Sachs for his impartial and authoritative analysis, as well as his sympathetic humility which corroborates his authority all over the world. Thank you, Sir.

@@sheilamacdougal4874 You believe what you want to believe.
@@rayli3720 Nothing I said is in the least controversial; the human rights record is abundant (which is why you don't challenge a single point). Rather, you project your own believing what you want to believe onto me. That epistemic derangement is very typical of people on this channel, who have a psychological need to blame the democracies for every aggression and crime by the dictatorships. Some are just outright fascists (whether they call themselves "progressive" or not). I've exposed a few here. Others have a psychological need to feel sanctimonious in their own societies; it would take a long time to analyse the psychology here. What is beyond question, as you confirm again, is that they have no arguments. That's why this professor can't name a single "rule" or international law that he finds objectionable; doing so would immediately expose him as a stooge of the dictatorships.
@@sheilamacdougal4874 From what I read it seems like you've already closed the door to any discussion as you said nothing you said is controversial. You should know for a fact that the U.S. waged multiple hot wars against Islamic extremist with the cost of hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties, not to mention those prisoners in Guantanamo. On the other hand, the Chinese government put Islamic extremist to educational camps and try to de-radicalize these people attempting to re-accept them into the society instead of bombing the crap out of them. Even then, the western rhetoric still somehow treat this as a so-called "genocide" that I really can't get where they're coming from. Speaking of Hong Kong, where militant protestors sabotage public transportation, government agency and police buildings and still being called "democracy fighters" by the western "mainstream media". While the capitol hill insurrection happened almost the same time, essentially the same group of protestors were called "mob" and depicted as illiterate red-neck instead. Can't you tell the hypocrisy in these western propaganda and "rules" already? Or maybe you are part of the propaganda too.
As a foreigner who lived through the entire duration of zero covid for the past 3 years in China, this is by far the most objective commentary I’ve seen on CZcams to date. Economists and business leaders are voicing concerns at the start of 2023 that the year could be a difficult one. JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon said Tuesday that the Federal Reserve may need to raise interest rates to 6% to fight inflation, higher than the peak level between 5% and 5.5% in 2023 that most Fed officials penciled in after their December meeting.

In spite of what the western mainstream media claims, most people don't want a unipolar world. I approve of Brics and a multipolar world. Greetings from Canada...
Notice how class was never mentioned, it’s all based in international bourgeois politics. There’s no mention of socialism, a democratization of global affairs, so they’ll let their people vote on the foreign policy? Or is this only a democratization for the rich, freedom for the national bourgeoisie of Brazil but what about the people in the favelas, what does this do for them? What about the untouchables in India what democracy does this offer them? I can see how the bourgeoisie of these nations will make more money this way but what does that mean for the poor, for the people with nothing but their labor to sell? How does this help the proletariat of the world? Workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite!
The US is the most counter-revolutionary, reactionary, capitalist, expansionist, imperialist force on the planet. The working class is unable to build socialist projects when the US demands via vast military, financial and political power full subservience by the the world, particularly the global south, to its neocolonial system and multinational corporations. A multipolar world, particularly one led by the communist party of China, changes this dynamic substantially, allowing other countries to self-determine and build their forces of production in a way that serves their population.
It is always about Class-check out the cabal of elitists at the World Economic Forum-"One World Gov't.-by them

America should see this period in time as an opportunity to reinvent the political posture, to curtail military spending, to invest inself, increasing broad-based prosperity., while working on global collaboration. It's almost as if in a well-functioning world Chi and Biden would be meeting all the time!
China has a dictator so no.
well put. i would like to think it's possible but, in routine life here, the mindset seems increasingly about demonizing china :/
I wholeheartedly agree...to accomplish this we need at least a third political party that shuns all corporate sponsorship. However this seems like daydreaming
You said it better than I.
The changes coming following Covid exposed the flaws with doing business with Regime led corrupt countries. China and co trying to profit from everyone's misery while the USA, Europe, Oz etc pulled together. Brics nations haven't presented factual economic data in over 3 years and their countries are socially unstable. The question by 2025 wont be 'are we going to war with China?' It will be 'are we going to feed the over populated hell scapes still because we're socially responsible or will we just throw open our borders and swallow up their healthy youth with potential?'.
The Internet and ease of travel has screwed these countries long term. There's only so much the poor brics populations can endure before they just revolt... in a huge way. Its disturbing to think of young Ukrainian and Russian kids dying for old men with an antiquated view of civilisation. Fingers crossed in a few decades, teens now will have forged a new world order together and enjoy equality no matter where they were born.

Thank you very much Mr. Sachs. I too believe that either every country or every continent must have a representative on the world stage not only five countries. Respect is why countries are turning away from the West. The West must treat all countries with the same respect she thinks she deserved and not to make the rules for the world. Every country must be represented, that would be fair and it would keep peace around the world.
I agree. The US acting as if the other countries wanting the same respect that is given. Unfortunately it is very hard for us humans to understand their is more to world economics and hopefully world peace someday soon. Tic TOC. Better late than never giving a thought as to the damage we may have inflicted with our arrogance. Does that make sense? Hmm

Thank you for having Jeffrey Sachs on. We need to hear this every day.
Its possibility the most incompentent and wildly deficient and oversimplified analysis of geopolitics and US foreign policy Ive EVER heard. Its a overview a Non-political scentific educated perspective might be. When he said "Dominance" Thats an instant epic faceplant - If USA aimmed for dominance, USA would have been crushed a loooooong time ago.

Why is this show called Democracy Now? It seems to mostly champion despotic regimes. China executes up to 8000 people a year and has an ongoing genocide of Uighurs. Why do you give a pass to people who do things that would cause your heads to explode if the US did them?
@@aconcernedworldcitizen236 I totally agree. This is what Marxist analysis tends to look like. You find the most powerful nation on the planet and claim everything is it’s fault and turn a blind eye to other imperialist dictatorships wrecking the world. Democracy means very little to DemocracyNow!
Its just abominable and ironic that a channel named 'Democracy now' is discussing how the autocratic filth of a bully called China is using its money power to bully the whole world while exterminating its own people like the Uighur muslims. And instead of denouncing it Western media is letting it be because money talks. It shows that while it lectures everyone and their grand ma on human rights and democracy, the hypocritic West only worries about money..
