Jeffrey D. Sachs is University Professor and director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University. He is also director of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network and has been advisor to three UN secretaries-general. He is a New York Times bestselling author, and his Columbia University Press books include The Age of Sustainable Development (2015), Building the New American Economy: Smart, Fair, and Sustainable (2017), and The Ages of Globalization: Geography, Technology, and Institutions (2020).
Forceful and angry, Sachs verges on hyperbole in his indictment of
America past and present, but he does highlight the perils of
continuing on the same path.
*New York Times Book Review*
His new book is entitled A New Foreign Policy: Beyond American
Exceptionalism, and there is much inside to be celebrated. I never
thought I would utter the words “I agree with Jeff Sachs,” let
alone put them in print, yet here we are.
*American Conservative*
Highly recommended.
*Choice*
A challenging departure from the Beltway assumption that America
has acted as a force for good in the world.
*Financial Times*
Sachs provides a broad alternative vision not only to the Trump
administration’s foreign policy, but to past U.S. foreign policy
more generally.
*LSE Review of Books*
A worthwhile read, in which Sachs demonstrates expertise on vastly
different policy fields and makes a convincing case that abdicating
the toxic intersection of militarism and exceptionalism is key to
building a brighter future, both in the U.S. and around the
world.
*Global Policy*
Jeffrey Sachs is one of the few prominent American academics who
dares to make the bold case that the US has been on the wrong track
for decades. Its non-academic style makes this book accessible to
any reader who wants to gain a broad understanding of what is
driving American grand strategy
