Requests:  0 Summary:  In this passionate and powerful book-part manifesto, part plan of action-the renowned economist Jeffrey D. Sachs offers a practical strategy to move America, seemingly more divided than ever, toward a new consensus: sustainable development. Sustainable development is a holistic approach that emphasizes economic, social, and environmental objectives in shaping policy. In focusing too much on economic growth, the United States has neglected rising economic inequality and dire environmental threats. Now, even growth is imperiled. Sachs explores issues that have captivated the nation and political debate, including infrastructure, trade deals, energy policy, the proper size and role of government, the national debt, and income inequality. Not only does he provide illuminating and accessible explanations of the forces at work in each case, but he also presents specific policy solutions. His argument rises above the pessimism born of political paralysis, economic stagnation, and partisanship to devise a brighter way forward, achievable both individually and collectively. Sachs shows how the United States can find a path to renewed economic progress that is fair and environmentally sustainable.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 330.973 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 390.973 Sachs Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 330.973 Sa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
