There can be little doubt we're at a material juncture: Deficit spending and the resulting pile of debts and other sovereign liabilities are starting to place real limits on our economic prosperity. In addition to these legacies of the past, the future is fast becoming more uncertain as many nations -- the US in particular -- are embarking on new policy directions very different from the status quo of recent decades.Where is all this heading?And are our odds for entering a better tomorrow increasing or decreasing?To help us wrestle with these very large and important questions, we have the great privilege of speaking today with Jeffrey Sachs, professor of economics at Columbia, bestselling author, and global leader in sustainable development.A survey by The Economist ranked Professor Sachs as among the three most influential living economists -- and it is an honor to welcome him to this program for the first, of hopefully many future appearances.TIME'S RUNNING OUT!
