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 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
My concern is not that there are too many sweatshops, but that there are too few.
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 idea that UN commitments should be followed by action is indeed a radical one, especially for the United States, where wilful neglect of its own commitments is the rule.
Jeffrey Sachs
This is our greatest challenge: learning to live in a crowded and interconnected world that is creating unprecedented pressures on human society and on the physical environment.
Jeffrey Sachs
The runs started in Thailand after the IMF intervened in such a dramatic way. Then the IMF came to Indonesia.
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.
