“The poor nations need aid – immediately and in a substantial measure.

The rich nations can afford to give it. “Enlightened globalisation”, as Sachs calls it, can lead to eradication of poverty. For this to happen, there has to be an attitudinal change, primarily on the part of the rich countries and to some extent from the poor countries. Only then can poverty become history.”
