Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd: Jeffrey Sachs at the 10th Athens Democracy Forum 2022

I saw this intervention and it was very interesting, tells us why sachs is so powerful a thinker. I wonder about some of his claims. When does the past loosen its hold on us? Are we not free to become, and do we have no autonomy over the determinism of the past? He doesn't tell us how putin's rise is not the same as the tsar's, or how xi isn't of the han dynasty; or how america's white supremacy is not monolithic. Viewing the grip of the past from the viewpoint of american pilgrims or settlers who killed off native americans is different from viewing them as refugees from european tyrants, like the huguenots.
