HEINZ D. KURZ
Jeffrey D. Sachs presents a compelling and practical framework for how global citizens can use a holistic way forward to address the seemingly intractable worldwide problems of persistent extreme poverty, environmental degradation, and political-economic injustice. Sachs offers readers, students, activists, environmentalists, and policy makers the tools, metrics, and practical pathways they need to address these issues through sustainable development.
In this concise yet comprehensive history, Heinz D. Kurz traces the long arc of economic thought from its emergence in ancient Greece to its systematic presentation among the classical thinkers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to the influential work of scholars such as Paul Samuelson and Kenneth J. Arrow. $20.00 / £14.95 paper 978-0-231-17259-2 $27.00 / £21.95 cloth 978-0-231-17258-5 2017 224 pages
