The uncertainty is huge,notes Columbia University economist Jeffrey Sachs.Will the euro survive?Will Europe survive?We shouldn't underestimate how deep we've gotten ourselves into this bind we're in right now.
What's happening at the Occupy Wall Street protests is happening all over the world.Those kids are saying it's global.From the Arab Spring to Tel Aviv to Chile,they're saying we need help;we don't have the future.
We need to be attentive to the 99%.The inequality in this country is out of control.We've been on an economic path that's not working.That top 1% is gonna have to do more,in Dr.Sachs' opinion.
Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit said he would be happy to speak with the protesters.Their concerns are very understandable.
The protesters are active in nearly 200 U.S. cities now.In a recent poll,40% of those in the upper income bracket expressed support for the protesters-the most support of any bracket.
Dr.Sachs is Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia,which aims for a sustainable earth,and is a special advisor to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
