The Price of Civilization

noreply@blogger.com (HyperActiveX) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 11:23:00 +0000

[Source: The Oxford Martin School on YouTube]

Keynote Speaker: Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Director, The Earth Institute, Columbia University

Lecture summary: 'The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity'.

Sachs argues that for the U.S. to regain sound fiscal health the country must also reform its politics. While economic recovery necessitates coming to terms with global realities, America must also rein in lobbyists' power and political spin and limit corporate contributions. Sachs explains why the complexity of the world economy means that the American form of capitalism, with a hands-off government allowing market forces to govern the economic realm, guarantees a future of instability. He tells us why we must agree on a role for government in the equation and reach a consensus on the values that unite us as citizens of the world.
