Lecture on “Role of US Policies in Driving the World towards War and Depression” Jomo Kwame Sundaram | February 25 , 2023.

In this thought-provoking lecture, Jomo KS argues that the policies pursued by the United States are driving the world towards war and depression. Neoliberal economic policies have dismantled social welfare programs, privatized public services, and deregulated financial markets, leading to inequality and economic instability around the world.

The US is increasingly using military force to maintain its dominance, leading to increased tensions and global conflict. Jomo KS draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary examples such as Chile, South Africa and Greece to illustrate the devastating effects of US policies on a global scale. He examines the role of international institutions such as the IMF and World Bank in perpetuating these policies and suggests reforms that could serve the interests of all people, rather than just the wealthy elites.

Ultimately, Jomo KS calls for a new economic model that prioritizes social justice, environmental sustainability, and democratic participation to avoid the dangers posed by current US policies. This lecture is a must-watch for anyone interested in understanding the global economy and the political forces that are shaping our world.
