More quotes by Jeffrey Sachs
My colleagues and I took a stand in our work several years ago that we would not look for the magic bullet, because there is none. These are just basic problems requiring basic work. Nothing magic about it.
Jeffrey Sachs
There is no economic imperative that will condemn us to deplete our vital resource base, but neither is there an invisible hand that will prevent us from doing so.
Jeffrey Sachs
The world got side-tracked from development issues during the post-9/11 crisis period.
Jeffrey Sachs
Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.
Jeffrey Sachs
White House and State Department foreign-policy experts are overwhelmingly directed towards military and diplomatic issues, not development issues.
Jeffrey Sachs
The runs started in Thailand after the IMF intervened in such a dramatic way. Then the IMF came to Indonesia.
Jeffrey Sachs
In my view, there is an urgent need to communicate with the public and help to explain where there is consensus, and where are there doubts about the issues of sustainable development.
Jeffrey Sachs
The essence of Africa's crises is fundamentally it's extreme poverty.
Jeffrey Sachs
My concern is not that there are too many sweatshops, but that there are too few.
Jeffrey Sachs
History is written by the rich, and so the poor get blamed for everything.
Jeffrey Sachs
There's a lot of strength in the U.S., but there's a lot of froth also. The froth will blow off. We're going to have to face up to some realities that we're not fully facing up to right now.
Jeffrey Sachs
The defining challenge of the 21st century will be to face the reality that humanity shares a common fate on a crowded planet.
Jeffrey Sachs
The Russian drama began at the end of 1991, when the Soviet Union mercifully ended. Russia and 14 other new countries emerged from the ruins of the Soviet Union. Every one of those 15 new states faced a profound historical, economic, financial, social and political challenge.
Jeffrey Sachs
Russia has gone through eight years of continuing economic pain.
Jeffrey Sachs
The truth of good economic doctoring is to know the general principles, and to really know the specifics. To understand the context, and also, to understand that an economy may need some tender loving care, not just the so-called hard truths, if it's going to get by.
Jeffrey Sachs
Every morning our newspapers could read, 'More than 20,000 people perished yesterday of extreme poverty.' How? The poor die in hospital wards that lack drugs, in villages that lack antimalarial bed nets, in houses that lack safe drinking water. They die namelessly, without public comment. Sadly, sad stories rarely get written.
Jeffrey Sachs
We had a booming stock market in 1929 and then went into the world's greatest depression. We have a booming stock market in 1999. Will the bubble somehow burst, and then we enter depression? Well, some things are not different.
Jeffrey Sachs
Devaluations are never easy.
Jeffrey Sachs
At the most basic level, the key to ending extreme poverty is to enable the poorest of the poor to get their foot on the ladder of development.
Jeffrey Sachs
Let the future say of our generation that we sent forth mighty currents of hope and that we worked together to heal the world.
Jeffrey Sachs
