Jeffrey Sachs is a Fucker

Jeffrey Sachs is a fucker. Not content with being a respected economist, Columbia professor, government advisor, and bestselling author (The End of Poverty), Jeffrey had to go out and write the book I wanted to write, beating me to press.
You should buy his book anyway.
It’s called Common Wealth: Economics for a Crowded Planet.
Sachs argues that the crises facing humanity are daunting. He identifies four main issues: global warming/environmental destruction, overpopulation, ending poverty, and political logjams that hinder global cooperation. Sachs rolls out his doomsday scenario, complete with data that’s fun for the whole family! Consider me spooked. Then, as only an economist can, Sachs pats himself on the back and busts out a magical beanstalk plan that will solve everything on the cheap (if only the idiot politicians would listen).
