Common Wealth by Jeffrey D. Sachs

Economics for a Crowded Planet

A wide-ranging call to reorient economics toward the planet’s limits and the needs of the poorest, arguing that sustainable prosperity requires coordinated global action on poverty, population, resource use and climate change. The book emphasizes investing in health, education, family planning and clean technologies, pricing environmental harms, and strengthening international cooperation and institutions to manage shared resources and achieve long-term economic and ecological stability.

The 17008th greatest book of all time
