Jeffrey D. Sachs

With a crisis on nearly every continent, world governments are negotiating a set of  goals focused on ending extreme poverty, preventable diseases, and curbing climate change. 

In a detour from his usual focus on global issues, Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University and author of The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity, looks at the current situation in the U.S.
