Jeffrey Sachs has given me hope at a time of great despair. His data is fact based from a great deal of personal experience working to improve third world countries' economies. The bottom line is that he believes we CAN end poverty on the planet by 2025, and he details the specific ways we can do so.

He notes that economists must think like medical diagnosticians, carefully considering each of the many factors--different for each third world country--that contribute to their economic problems. Then, like any good doctor, an individual prescription (economic plan) must be written and followed for the particular country.

Jeffrey supplies detailed analyses of many countries, their particular problems, and why whatever economic plans have been applied have succeeded or failed.

I loved his approach, his ability to share complicated theories and issues in a way that any world citizen who is motivated can not only understand, but support.
