In wake of the worst
recession in recent history, Dr. Sachs focuses on the United States and gives a
startling account of the inadequacies of America-style capitalism. He asks the
question “where do we go from here” and offers a bold plan of reforms relating
to sustainable infrastructure, taxes, job training, etc. that must be
taken to avoid further damage.

One of the most influential
international economic advisors, Dr. Sachs was the Director of the UN
Millennium Project from 2002-2006 and is the President and Co Founder of
Millennium Promise Alliance, an organization dedicated to end extreme global
poverty.
