Common Wealth: Economics For A Crowded Planet by Jeffrey Sachs

In this book Jeffrey Sachs, one of the world's leading economists and author of the bestselling The End of Poverty , analyses and addresses the great, and interconnected, global challenges of the twenty-first century. A series of cascading threats to global well-being - the most significant being environmental degradation and rapid population growth - bear down upon our increasingly crowded planet. All of them are solvable, Sachs argues, but potentially disastrous if left unattended. Our task is to achieve truly sustainable development, by which he means finding a global course which enables the world to benefit from the spread of prosperity while ensuring that we don't destroy the eco-systems which keep us alive and our place in nature which helps sustain our values.
