Ya I feel you man, it is a pretty good book. Makes a lot of since however, makes you question if we got too far ahead of ourselves in the industrial revolution and didn't consider that not everyone can consume at the rate we do..

"If you don't want to be poor just work harder"

Ya I hate the simplistic way of looking at things as well, Sachs talks about clinical economics in his book and says how our nowadays economics is like putting leeches on people to extract their blood because they don't know anything else to do.. How foreign support is a key issue, because you can't just tell a country to be like us and you'll be rich..

It is really a good book, I have a few others to crack into but I get way too confused reading more than 1 book about the same subject at once.
