- Fareed Zakaria: “My "Book of the Week" is "The Price of Civilization" by frequent "GPS" guest Jeffrey Sachs. Sachs, an economist of Columbia University, spends much of his time advising emerging nations around the world as to how to solve their economic troubles. Here he directs his advice at the United States, his homeland. He puts forth his ideas about what ails us and his prescriptions for how we can recover. Even if you don't agree with it, you will find it very thought-provoking.”
