Professor Jeffrey Sachs (Director of The Earth Institute, Professor of Sustainable Development, and Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University) has pin-pointed the problem of One Percenter-based lying (2017): “The greatest problem in Washington is not polarization but lying. The legislative machinery has ground to a halt not because of the great divide between liberals and conservatives but because of the great divide between the lobbyists and the people” (Jeffrey Sachs, “Lies and the lying lobbyists who tell them”, Common Dreams, 20 July 2017: https://www.commondreams.org/views/2017/07/20/lies-and-lying-lobbyists-who-tell-them ; Jeffrey Sachs quoted in Gideon Polya, “Review: “One World Digital Dictatorship” by Soren Korsgaard – Digital Nightmare”, Countercurrents, 23 January 2020: https://countercurrents.org/2020/01/review-one-world-digital-dictatorship-by-soren-korsgaard-digital-nightmare ).
