Description
Addressing the complex global challenges of the 21st century requires a new approach to sustainable development. Jeffrey Sachs argues that we need to find a global course that balances the spread of prosperity with the preservation of our ecosystems and natural world.
Sachs explores alternative ways of managing the world's technology, resources, and politics, and shows that long-term, cooperative thinking can inform more effective policies. This book is a thought-provoking analysis that appeals to both head and heart, making it a valuable read for anyone concerned with the future of our planet.
