Summary: Where it all went wrong and how to fix it
Comment: This wide ranging analysis of the world today and its future options should be a 'must read' at the highest level of all government agencies.
Any scathing attack on the deficiencies of the 2008 US regime are countered by offering workable opportunities to repair the damage and in particular to allow the United States to become a more believable power for good and to gain back some respect that the US once commanded with the rest of the world in the middle of the last century.

Summary: Common Wealth
Comment: I found this book to be an excellent read. If our nation and world would use some of the ideas presented in the book, we would have a much better planet. I plan on doing what I can to better our world, small steps, one day at a time.

Summary: Worst book I've read in years
Comment: This was a complete and total waste of my time. I actually think I may be dumber as a result of reading it. There are virtually no facts or studies cited in this book. He attempts to make historical references to provide basis to some of his opinions (that he presents more or less as if they are facts) but the causation is never clear. I think a book of this type needs to be written, but it obviously needs to be written by someone other than Jeffrey Sachs. He is just smart enough to be dangerous.

In Common Wealth, Jeffrey D. Sachs—one of the world’s most respected economists and the author of The New York Times bestseller The End of Poverty— offers an urgent assessment of the environmental degradation, rapid population growth, and extreme poverty that threaten global peace and prosperity. Through crystalline examination of hard facts, Sachs predicts the cascade of crises that awaits this crowded planet—and presents a program of sustainable development and international cooperation that will correct this dangerous course. Few luminaries anywhere on the planet are as schooled in this daunting subject as Sachs, and this is the vital product of his experience and wisdom.
