The Genius Who Could End Poverty - Jeffrey Sachs

I have been a fan of Prof. Sachs for the longest. Personally, i find him to be an inspiration, but more importantly here is a guy who had made it his life-time goal to fight for the very poor and the difficult isuues that face them on a daily basis like hunger, disease, and illiteracy.

For those of you who have never heard of Prof. Jeffrey Sachs - He is the author of the fascinting book The End Of Poverty, He is also known for his work with international agencies on problems of poverty reduction, debt cancellation, and disease control — especially HIV/AIDS, for the developing world.

He advocated distribution of free insecticide-treated bed nets to combat malaria. He is the only academic to have been repeatedly ranked among the world’s most influential people by Time magazine.

Here is his interview with Riz Khan.
