“Lucid, quietly urgent, and relentlessly logical . . . this is Bigthink with a capital B.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Common Wealth explains the most basic economic reckoning that the world faces.” —Al Gore, winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and former vice president of the United States
In Common Wealth, Jeffrey D. Sachs-one of the world's most respected economists and the author of The New York Times bestseller The End of Poverty- offers an urgent assessment of the environmental degradation, rapid population growth, and extreme poverty that threaten global peace and prosperity. Through crystalline examination of hard facts, Sachs predicts the cascade of crises that awaits this crowded planet-and presents a program of sustainable development and international cooperation that will correct this dangerous course. Few luminaries anywhere on the planet are as schooled in this daunting subject as Sachs, and this is the vital product of his experience and wisdom.
"Common Wealth explains the most basic economic reckoning that the world faces. We can address poverty, climate change, and environmental destruction at a very modest cost today with huge benefits for shared and sustainable prosperity and peace in the future, or we can duck the issues today and risk a potentially costly reckoning in later years. Despite the rearguard opposition of some vested interests, policies to help the world's poor and the global environment are in fact the very best economic bargains on the planet." -Al Gore, Winner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize and Former Vice President of the United States
"Jeffrey Sachs never disappoints. With powerful illustrations and moving words, he describes what humanity must do if we are to share a common future on this planet. By making sense of economics as it affects the lives of people, this book is an excellent resource for all those who want to understand what changes the 21st century may bring." -Kofi Annan, winner of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize and former secretary-general of the United Nations--此文字指其他 kindle_edition 版本。

I have read many other books by Sachs. He is a common sense economist. I have read many books by noted international economists. I look forward to a continued read by this renown authority. If only more companies, countries and international agencies would put these ideas into practice.

Sachs pulls out real statistics to show the trend of the present world economies toward convergence and discusses the trainwreck that is coming if changes are not made to cut consumption of resources and the continued population explosion in the poorest countries.
The global energy, environmental and economic situation is going through major changes. Jeffrey Sachs does an excellent job of analyzing the issues, choices and possible consequences before the world community. Comprehensive in nature, this book makes an excellent textbook that should be required reading for all who need to understand the realities of the new age before us. This is all of us so "Common Wealth" is a must read.
