Join Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Professor Francisco Rodriguez, a renowned economist and author of ‘The Human Consequences of Economic Sanctions’, for an in-depth discussion on the use of unilateral economic sanctions - when one country imposes economic costs on another, and insights on US as the primary user of unilateral economic sanctions.

Professor Francisco Rodriguez offers a comprehensive assessment of the impact of unilateral sanctions on the living standards of target countries. The dire consequences include rising poverty, falling living standards, and premature deaths. These ramifications extend far beyond politics, and the civilian population inevitably bear the brunt. Together, Professor Sachs and Professor Rodriguez engage in an insightful dialogue that sheds light on economic warfare, and how it is deployed in the modern world.
