Jeffrey D. Sachs turns to world history to shed light on how we can meet the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century. He takes readers through a series of six distinct waves of technological and ideological change, starting with the very beginnings of our species and ending with reflections on present-day globalization.

The American Century, spanning from 1941 to January 20, 2017, saw the United States as a military and economic powerhouse. However, it no longer holds the same dominance in the world economy or geopolitics. The current trend toward nationalism and “America first” foreign policy does not promise greatness; rather, it signifies a retreat from our responsibilities amid pressing global challenges such as environmental crises, political instability, and mass migration. In this incisive work, Jeffrey D. Sachs outlines a new foreign policy that prioritizes global cooperation, international law, and the pursuit of worldwide prosperity over nationalism and nostalgic aspirations. He advocates for a shift from relying on military power and engaging in unwinnable wars to focusing on shared goals of sustainable development. The book critiques the “America first” mentality while presenting a vision for a new path forward. Sachs proposes actionable strategies to enhance global economic growth, reform the United Nations for contemporary needs, and cultivate a multipolar world that is equitable, peaceful, and resilient. This compelling argument emphasizes the need for America to embrace international collaboration to address global challenges effectively.

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. Kerry Kennedy, president of the Robert F. Kennedy Center for Justice and Human Rights

Jeffrey D. Sachs has shown himself to be one of the worldÕs most perceptive and original analysts of global development in his groundbreaking books, including The End of Poverty and Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet. Now, in this major new work he presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice. Sachs outlines the holistic way forward: sustainable development. This provocative work offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. Far more than a rhetorical exercise, this book is designed to inform, inspire, and spur action. Based on SachsÕs twelve years as director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, his thirteen years advising the United Nations secretary-general on the Millennium Development Goals, and his recent presentation of these ideas in a popular online course, The Age of Sustainable Development is a landmark publication and a clarion call for all who care about our planet and global justice.

The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity "For more than three decades, Jeffrey D. Sachs has been at the forefront of international problem solving. But Sachs turns his attention back home in 'The Price of Civilization,' a book that is essential reading for every American. In a forceful, impassioned, and personal voice, he offers not only a searing and incisive diagnosis of our country's economic ills but also an urgent call for Americans to restore the virtue of fairness, honesty, and foresight as the foundations of national prosperity."
