b'If you are tired of reading the same, Washington-based, consensus, \\u2018realist\\u2019 and or \\u2018neo-conservative\\u2019, critiques of American foreign policy, here is something to salivate on: Jeffrey D. Sachs\\u2019, A New Foreign Policy: Beyond American Exceptionalism (Columbia University Press, 2018). By turns, noted author Jeffrey Sachs\\u2019 book is unorthodox, iconoclastic, novel and indeed at times eccentric. A New Foreign Policy provides a road map for a U.S. foreign policy that embraces globalism, cooperation, international law, and aspirations for worldwide prosperity\\u2014not nationalism and illusory dreams of empty and past glory. You may not agree with him, indeed you may\\xa0 believe that he is completely wrong and his facts do not add up. Regardless, Sachs\\u2019 book is the one that foreign policy experts will be discussing this Fall.\\n\\n\\n\\nCharles Coutinho holds a doctorate in history from New York University.
