The Price of Civilization The Price of Civilization: Reawakening American Virtue and Prosperity (ISBN  ) is a book by economist Jeffrey Sachs. It was published by Random House on October 4, 2011 in the US and by Bodley Head (UK 6 Oct 2011). Sachs criticizes excessive lobbying, as well as a poor response by American government to globalization, and describes American politics as a corporatocracy in which "powerful corporate interest groups dominate the policy agenda." Sachs suggests that both political parties are right-of-center, and identifies four powerful lobbies as (1) military-industrial complex (2) Wall Street–Washington complex (3) Big Oil–transport–military complex (4) the health care industry.
