LIVE: Jeffrey Sachs Warns West Faces Decline as Asia Rises and Global Power Shifts East by 2050
Is the global balance of power moving away from the West? Economist Jeffrey Sachs has warned that the United States and Europe risk stagnation and further economic decline as Asia and other emerging economies gain influence.
In his recent analysis, Sachs argued that Western attempts to preserve global hegemony are creating economic and geopolitical problems. He pointed to the costs of wars, rising debt, protectionist trade policies and weakening international economic relationships.
At the Varanasi symposium, Sachs presented projections suggesting that the US and Europe could account for around 20% of the global economy by 2050, while Asia could represent approximately half. He also argued that Asia and Africa could together account for around three-quarters of the world’s population by 2100.
Sachs has described a possible future in which the West becomes trapped in stagnation or decline while the rest of the world continues to advance. Are we witnessing a historic shift in global power?
Watch his analysis of Western decline, India’s growing economic importance, China’s rise and the future of the multipolar world.
