EFTA01034223 Start building alliances with Russia and China to deal with the myriad threats our world faces today — environmental disaster, mass migration, political upheaval and slack growth. Bring an immediate end to Trump's aggressive protectionism, which will only accelerate America's decline and strengthen China's competitive economic edge. Redirect America's massive military budget towards increased funding for sustainable development, the United Nations and American diplomatic soft power. And above all, put an end to America's costly overseas meddling. Magical thinking? Not so, says Sachs. On Monday June 10th Sachs — the Columbia economics professor who has served as adviser to dozens of heads of state and governments — will come to the Intelligence Squared stage to discuss his radical new vision for U.S. foreign policy. Instead of a world where America reigns as the sole superpower, Sachs will outline his plan for a new international system of equals, where America shares power and collaborates with former geopolitical rivals to solve today's global crises. According to Sachs, this new foreign policy isn't just desirable from a moral perspective — it also offers a remarkable return on investment in contrast to expensive overseas intervention and needless confrontation with China. Everyone, Sachs claims, stands to gain from this new international order. But others disagree. Isn't this exactly the kind of American foreign policy that anti- Western authoritarians like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping dream of — a world without robust American leadership? Don't our cherished freedoms depend on a strong, assertive American presence overseas? Join us and hear one of the world's most influential thinkers, in conversation with the BBC's Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet, debate these most vital issues of our times.
