More quotes by Jeffrey Sachs
I believe myself that there's a great deal more interest and engagement among Americans than our politicians recognize.
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
My concern is not that there are too many sweatshops, but that there are too few.
Jeffrey Sachs
America's government is not even aware of the gap between its commitments and action, because almost nobody in authority understands the actions that would be needed to meet the commitments.
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 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
The world got side-tracked from development issues during the post-9/11 crisis period.
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
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
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
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 rich do not have to invest enough in the poorest countries to make them rich they need to invest enough so that these countries can get their foot on the economic ladder . . . Economic development works. It can be successful. It tends to build on itself. But it must get started.
Jeffrey Sachs
It's not so unusual to run out of someone else's currency.
Jeffrey Sachs
The essence of Africa's crises is fundamentally it's extreme poverty.
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
History is written by the rich, and so the poor get blamed for everything.
Jeffrey Sachs
White House and State Department foreign-policy experts are overwhelmingly directed towards military and diplomatic issues, not development issues.
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
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.
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.
