Jeffery Sachs wasn't exactly my focus, but thanks for zeroing in on him.  He sounds like the perfect man, beyond reproach https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2007/07/sachs200707 http://archive.is/fbkjk Definitely knows all the right people.  Edit: Apparently not everyone sees him as a self-less (and kind of hating Hillary) type of guy. http://archive.is/N7Wy5  Under a program developed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Harvard Institute for International Development (HIID) was given primary responsibility for transforming Russia's state economy to private enterprise. USAID was already working closely with George Soros's Open Society Institute (OSI) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to turn Russia into a free-market Eurasian version of a quasi-dictatorial Latin American republic. Under the aegis of HIID's Harvard Project, led by Harvard economics professor Andrei Shleifer with the assistance of Larry Summers, Russia's economy underwent "shock therapy." Another shock therapist who advised the Yeltsin-Chernomyrdin regime was Columbia University economics professor Jeffrey Sachs.  These neo-con professors applied the same sort of shock therapy, based on unbridled capitalism, not seen since Friedman forced post-Allende Chile, under the military dictator Augusto Pinochet, to adopt his destructive uber-capitalist policies. While Shleifer, a dual Russian-American citizen, advised the deputy prime minister Anatoly Chubais on the sale of state property and was put in charge of Rosimushchestvo (the Committee for the Management of State Property), Sachs advised Prime Minister Yegor Gaidar and Finance Minister Boris Fedorov on transforming Russia from a socialist society to a world-class capitalist market showcase.  The Gore-Chernomyrdin Commission and HIID saw the city of Nizhny Novgorod as a testing ground for their libertarian economic policies that earned praise from former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. The governor of Nizhny Novgorod who eagerly instituted Harvard's shock therapy was Boris Nemtsov, recently assassinated in Moscow by parties suspected of trying to bring about a violent Ukraine-style "themed revolution" in Moscow. The themed revolution concept, created by University of Massachusetts professor Gene Sharp, has been adopted as a primary tactic by Soros and the CIA to force regime changes around the world.
