From the Back Cover
'Essential reading ... could easily end up serving as the manifesto for global affairs' Allister Heath, Literary Review6.6 billion people and rising ...
We live on a crowded planet. Humans fill every part of the Earth, and now more and more of us are scrambling for ever-scarcer energy and resources. How can we make sure there's enough to go round?
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.
