Beyond the neocon debacle to peace in Ukraine

We are entering the end stage of the 30-year US neocon debacle in Ukraine. The neocon plan to surround Russia in the Black Sea region by NATO has failed.
The US economic war on China
By Jeffrey D. Sachs - Aug 26,2023
 China’s economy is slowing down. Current forecasts put China’s GDP growth in 2023 at less than 5 per cent, below the forecasts made last year and far below the high growth rates that China enjoyed until the late 2010s.
America’s wars and the US debt crisis
By Jeffrey D. Sachs - May 24,2023
In the year 2000, the US government debt was $3.5 trillion, equal to 35 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). By 2022, the debt was $24 trillion, equal to 95 per cent of GDP. The US debt is soaring, hence America’s current debt crisis.

By Jeffrey D. Sachs - Feb 28,2023
We are not at the one-year anniversary of the war, as the Western governments and media claim. This is the 9-year anniversary of the war.

By Jeffrey D. Sachs - Feb 14,2023
The greatest enemy of economic development is war. If the world slips further into global conflict, our economic hopes and our very survival could go up in flames.
The new world economy

I inaugurate this new series of columns in a New Year and a new beginning for Brazil with the inauguration of President Lula da Silva.
Ending the war of attrition in Ukraine
By Jeffrey D. Sachs - May 11,2022
NEW YORK  —  Wars often erupt and persist because of the two sides’ miscalculations regarding their relative power. In the case of Ukraine, Russia blundered badly by underestimating the resolve of Ukrainians to fight and the effectiveness of NATO-supplied weaponry.
