Michael Hudson-Superimperialism : the empire is falling and as others is engaged in more extreme versions of the policies that enriched/ destroys it.

I’ve followed Professor Sachs for years but for whatever reason only recently discovered his book club. I just listened to the first episode—a discussion with Jon Wolfsthal of the Federation of American Scientists—about how America can step away from nuclear madness. The conversation is sobering and tracks with Annie Jacobsen’s excellent Nuclear War: A Scenario, but it’s surprisingly hopeful, as well. Highly recommended and I’m now looking forward to going back to the interviews I’ve missed.

Just listen. Dr Sachs’ is a masterful interviewer. He provides a space for his guests to discuss and provide a rich understanding of the topics of their work.

Every person should listen to this podcast. It’s so incredibly enlightening. So hilarious that Sharon Stone says that Americans are not educated. Perhaps, Hollywood is not educated.

This podcast is annoying to listen to at times, especially when there’s a female author as guest. Jeffrey Sachs talks way too much! Mansplaining. Talking over guest. Ask more questions & let your guest talk more. I noticed this in one other podcast with female guest too. You let the males talk more, talking over the females. The author is the expert on the subject matter, not you.

Jeffrey Sach’s interviews are eye-opening and insightful, offering a fuller view of today’s geopolitical problems. The information provided is historical facts that are conveniently left out of the conversation in the mainstream media. If every US citizen and resident listened to these podcasts, we may be able to avoid being involved in more disastrous, unnecessary wars and massacres.

You can not possibly be so smart and really believe that J-6 was an insurrection. Turn that big brain loose on at all we know now about the deep state manipulation of events that day and the corrupt congressional committee that works furiously to cover it up. J-6 was a Fed Op - so call it a ‘Fed-surrection.’ Here’s a clue: Republicans don’t show up to an insurrection without their guns. Conservatives are the constitution lovers. Your side are the dictator loving street thugs. George Floyd and Summer of Love riots are how the progressives roll - those are insurrections. Using a corrupt judicial system to wage law fare against your political enemies is insurrection. A never ending stream of hoaxes by our intelligence agencies designed to bring down our duly elected president is insurrection. Opening the border to floods of inverted military age men to destabilize our society is insurrection. So smart yet so clueless.

Important to note the Marxist dialectic pedagogical paradigm that skews Mainland scholarship , even with the best of intentions. Namely, excess emphasis on “them vs us”; “East vs West” and a related unwillingness to publicly expose (share) China’s weaknesses. As some one who has lived in China for over 30 years as corporate lawyer , writer, and small business owner, the day-to-day problems are rarely discussed. Here you go: China’s borders are porous, with multiple challenges with all of its neighbors. This is China’s main preoccupation. Secondly, annual and chronic environmental disasters many of its own making . Third, rising inflation with insufficient economic tools to stem inflation’s growth . China’s ancient history is often used as a diversion to mask present day problems. China’s post 1949 education system is less than ideal; this comment is also a taboo and not subject to open debate and not easily changed. But easily evidenced by the “tsunami” level of Mainland Chinese studying abroad.

Priceless resource. No nonsense discussion of core issues shaping our world.

One of the best podcasts out there. Sachs is a great source himself, so he knows who best to talk to and on what subjects.

For a small investment of time Jeff Sachs gives us a beautiful conversation with the author of a valuable book each episode. Enriching, edifying and deeply human.

This takes a hard look on issues that really matter. Things overlooked by mainstream media. It’s exposes a harsh reality that need to face, and to try and change.

This is a great podcast to hear a smart and human take on how we can think through the worlds toughest problems.

I have learned so much from this intellectually stimulating podcast. Sachs is a superb interviewer, and his choice of books is outstanding!

Great podcast from one of the best and most compassionate economists.

Im really enjoying this podcast! If you’re a listener of Sam Harris, Tim Ferris or the like, give this a listen! Good stuff👍🏼

ESSENTIAL LISTENING.

I learned so much about a time I lived through but wasn’t privy to the inside politics. Ver insightful. I wish your podcast was longer.

Just what you want in.a.podcast - intelligent conversation between knowledgeable and articulate voices.
