A reader's journal sharing the insights of various authors and my take on a variety of topics, most often philosophy, religion & spirituality, politics, history, economics, and works of literature. Come to think of it, diet and health, too!

Jeffrey Sachs @ 5 Books
Five Books is a great site, and this interview with Jeff Sachs is a good source of perspective on global development goals. This man is an optimist despite seeing a lot of hardship. But most importantly, I'm impressed that he realizes that alleviating extreme poverty depends a lot on the good will of persons with the resources to help. In the end, economics depends, or is built upon, ethics.
