On this episode of The Jay Martin Show, world-renowned economist Jeffrey Sachs unpacks the long-term shifts reshaping the global order—from the end of Western dominance to the rise of China and the multipolar world emerging in its wake. Sachs offers a rare century-scale perspective on trade wars, technological competition, and U.S. debt vulnerability, challenging conventional narratives and calling for a mindset shift in Western geopolitics. He also shares insights from his advisory work in Southeast Asia and his views on China's Belt and Road Initiative, arguing it's a misunderstood force for global development.
