When complexities are overlooked and shortcuts are frequently taken, the repercussions are often catastrophic. Now, who bears the brunt of such narcissism, naivete, and hubris? Renowned economist Jeffrey David Sachs guides us back to a revitalization of a long-forgotten international political culture: diplomacy. Beyond engaging in difficult conversations, diplomacy imparts the wisdom of listening, understanding, and accepting one another to enable judicious action. Sachs, serving as the Director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, brings a wealth of experience. His roles as Special Advisor to UN Secretaries-General Kofi Annan (2001-7), Ban Ki-moon (2008-16), and António Guterres (2017-18) underscore his commitment to global cooperation. Furthermore, he is the author and editor of numerous influential books, including three New York Times bestsellers: “The End of Poverty“ (2005), “Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet“ (2008), and “The Price of Civilization“ (2011). This is the second part of The Shifting World Order Series. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #JeffreySachs ---------------------- Jeff's portrait by Narendra Bisht for Fortune India Instagram: Website: ---------------------- About the host: Gita Wirjawan is an Indonesian entrepreneur, educator, and currently a visiting scholar at The Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center (APARC), Stanford University.
