Description:
In this Indian Express Exclusive interview, Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs sits across with Anant Goenka and breaks down the biggest geopolitical flashpoints shaping our world today.
From Donald Trump’s global impact to the Iran protests, Maduro’s Venezuela, Pakistan’s instability, and China’s growing influence, Sachs connects the dots between power, politics, economics, and global consequences.
This is not soundbite analysis. This is layered context, uncomfortable truths, and a rare global insight you won’t hear on mainstream television.
In this interview, we discuss:
• Trump and America’s role in global disruption
• Iran protests and Western intervention
• Venezuela under Maduro
• Pakistan’s political and economic challenges
• China vs USA: who really controls the future?
• Russia, sanctions, and global power realignments
• Why the world feels closer to chaos than cooperation.
If you care about world politics, geopolitics, economics, global power, and truth beyond headlines, this conversation is must watch.
