“If we pick one book as our guide to living on this planet, it should be Common Wealth. Jeffrey Sachs lays out the solutions to all of the world's major problems. He lays out the urgency of acting now and for the long term. He dispels the myths surrounding the doubters and the misguided. In the End of Poverty, Jeffrey Sachs makes it clear why we should care and what we can do to eliminate extreme poverty. He goes beyond that in this book to talk about the major issues of our time: environmental sustainability, population stability, and every person's right to succeed. If we can afford the pointless war in Iraq, we can afford to sustain this planet and all its people.”
