Reviews
Sachs confronts Trump's idea of rebuilding the U.S. and particularly its infrastructure...[he] focuses on long-term societal objectives centered on sustainable development...Highly recommended., My father famously declared that GDP "measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile." Jeffrey Sachs presents an economic vision beyond GDP, one that is based on compassion and sustainability, and that aligns with the globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals. This is a roadmap for America's future economic strategy., In this slim volume that serves as both manifesto and plan of action, Sachs directly addresses in clear prose such issues as tax reform, renewable energy, creating good jobs in an era of increasing robotic automation, making trade deals work better for everyone, and taming health care costs. Building the New American Economy provides a concise and organized way of looking at the challenges and choices that lie ahead., Jeffrey Sachs remains one of the most thought-provoking economists in the world today because he dares to challenge presidents of both parties and the orthodoxies that bind them to disastrous policies. His critiques are fierce and his solutions fearless in the face of political and academic groupthink. That makes Professor Sachs a rarity in public life and this book an absolute necessity.
