From Wealth of Nations to Common Wealth of Nations
In Common Wealth, the author Jeffrey D. Sachs, Professor of Sustainable Development at Columbia University and special advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the Millennium Development Goals, has elaborated upon some actions that are necessary to fulfil the hopes of generation in building a world of peace, sustainable development and Common Wealth.
These include learning about this generation’s challenges to become acquainted with the underlying science of sustainable development, travelling to see other places and cultures to understand the common interests and aspirations that unite all of us, starting or joining organisations committed to sustainable development i.e., Muhammad Yunus began Grameen Bank and gave life to the world-wide microfinance revolution, Paul Farmer started Partners In Health, Norman Borlaug helped to establish the wheat research institute CIMMYT and thereby helped feed the world, promoting sustainable development through social networking sites, getting politically engaged, demanding our politicians to honour government’s promises and donating time, dollars, and the energy to social networks.
Global survival in the long run will be achieved by recognising that the vast majority of people in the Middle East, China, India, and the rest of the world, just as in the United States, long for their own prosperity and security, not for domination over others. Our fears can easily get the best of us. We must therefore train ourselves and orient our policies to understand the world not only as we would see it but how others see it as well. That is the key to appreciating our common fate, and Common Wealth, on the planet.
