Summary

Cooperation and interdependence are the key ideas in Jeffrey Sachs's alarming, and compelling, analysis of the coming world economy. A crisis will surely arrive if we do not shed our old ideas, warns Sachs, who remains optimistic that the issues of poverty and sustainability, rather than national interests, will drive the new global economic paradigm.

Quotes from the Critics

"Combining trenchant analysis with a resounding call to arms, Sachs's book is an important contribution to the debate over the world's future." - Publishers Weekly

"Sachs smartly describes how we got here, and the path we must take to avert disaster....This is Bigthink with a capital B." - New York Times Book Review
