Sachs offers a searing and incisive diagnosis of our countrys economic ills, and an urgent call for Americans to restore the core virtues of fairness, honesty, and foresight as the foundations of national prosperity. Sachs finds that both political partiesand many leading economistshave missed the big picture, profoundly underestimating globalizations longterm effects and offering shortsighted solutions. He describes a political system that is beholden to big donors and influential lobbyists and a consumptiondriven culture that suffers shortfalls of social trust and compassion. He bids readers to reclaim the virtues of good citizenship and mindfulness toward the economy and each one another. Most important, he urges each of us to accept the price of civilization, so that together we restore America to its great promise.
