What’s Behind Kazakhstan’s🇰🇿 Protests & Why US Sanctions Are For ‘Losers’- Prof. Steve Hanke

We firstly speak to Prof. Steve Hanke, a former Chief Advisor to ex-Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev and a former Senior Economist in President Ronald Reagan’s Council of Economic Advisors. He discusses the causes of the protests in Kazakhstan that have seen the deaths of over 160 protesters in crackdowns by the government and why inflation is likely not one of them, his time as an advisor to Nazarbayev and his views on economic policies undertaken by successive Kazakh governments, his opposition to US sanctions and why he believes that they don’t work and much more.
