If we did go into a recession, something that's always possible for the U.S. or Europe, we could lower interest rates and expand the money supply without worrying about the price of gold.

More quotes by Jeffrey Sachs
Globalization was a deep trend pushed by technology and right ideas, as much as anything else.
Jeffrey Sachs
The great leaders of the second world war alliance, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill, understood the twin sides of destruction and salvation. Their war aims were not only to defeat fascism, but to create a world of shared prosperity.
Jeffrey Sachs
Russia has gone through eight years of continuing economic pain.
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
It's the American leadership that has not played the role it should be playing and that leaders in other countries have been playing.
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
History is written by the rich, and so the poor get blamed for everything.
Jeffrey Sachs
It's not so unusual to run out of someone else's currency.
Jeffrey Sachs
Business often does a good job supporting communities: the arts, universities, and scientific enterprises... But that philosophy has rarely reached poor countries. Even businesses that are enlightened in their home bases see Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia as places to exploit natural resources or use cheap labor.
Jeffrey Sachs
I believe myself that there's a great deal more interest and engagement among Americans than our politicians recognize.
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
The runs started in Thailand after the IMF intervened in such a dramatic way. Then the IMF came to Indonesia.
Jeffrey Sachs
Devaluations are never easy.
Jeffrey Sachs
The basic idea was that if a country would put its economy as an integrated piece of the world system, that it would benefit from that with economic growth. I concur with that basic view.
Jeffrey Sachs
White House and State Department foreign-policy experts are overwhelmingly directed towards military and diplomatic issues, not development issues.
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
It's quite possible to arrive in the year 2030 where people are no longer dying of poverty. We could actually help lead a global end-not a reduction, but an end-to absolute poverty...I have always found that a committed, powerful group of leaders, can make a huge difference.
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
My concern is not that there are too many sweatshops, but that there are too few.
Jeffrey Sachs
Our interconnectedness on the planet is the dominating truth of the 21st century. One stark result is that the world's poor live, and especially die, with the awareness that the United States is doing little to mobilise the weapons of mass salvation that could offer them survival, dignity and eventually the escape from poverty.
