Essential reading . . . could easily end up serving as the manifesto for global affairs'
ALLISTER HEATH, LITERARY REVIEW

Jeffrey Sachs is one of the world's leading thinkers and activists in economic development. In this inspiring new book he sets out a realistic, practical plan for solving the most severe crises our world faces - population growth, climate change, extreme poverty - in a way that will ultimately benefit all of us. By harnessing new technology and a new ethic of global co-operation, he shows, we can find common ground in our crowded world, leaving a healthy, healed planet for future generations. It is a book which appeals equally to the head and the heart.

the only way to end poverty, war and population explosion in india china is first for american President mr Trump to relaise all economist, Policy leaders, IPCC climate experts are lair siwht fake knowledge. He can overnight stop 30 million homeless (citizens of food stamps) beig exploited or used as door mats if he does only one thing. Ignore all this Fed erla bank' fake statistics based on fake correlation that trade with china is good.
About author sachs:
A typical dmb a** professors Sachs. they only have communications skill. He has no working knowledge. but they will talk like they have first hand expertise. Just like Al gore on climate studies. He is only having cattle farm but preaches Climate change and laos 'bought ' the Noble peace prize. .Harvard krimes.

all big business are frauding the public especially Big pharma and Big banks, big tech. they are promoting drugs like it is candy's and
toffees or cone icecreams. for example Johnson and Johnson alone spends $3 billion annuals on Tv/print advertisements. This is besides the $10 billion they have to spend to support their marketing/sales staff and overheads. The idea of creating these tv advertisements and print ads is to network' with officials and grease palms to avoid /mitigate risks of patient law suits. for example, a State Secretary's spouse or kid is working for a costal living magazine. JnJ/Pfizer or merck will use their advertisment budget to show their 'support' for the official.

Yesterday cbsnews reported a case of drug recall after complaints against Sanofi on some generic drug for blood pressure. zantac is the name of the drug. This drug has carcinogenic chemicals. this is old drug now in generic 'mode' sold like biscuits. and the typical response "we at sanofi r committed, to patient care, , safety levels are maintained... "
then Sanofi will do damage control 'behind our backs' as their PR lady will know how to assuage the feelings of legal eagles before it blows out of proportion on them
