Due to massive media coverage, many people are familiar with the controversy and organized resistance that globalization has generated around the world, yet explaining what globalization actually means in practice is a complicated task. For those wanting to learn more, this book is an excellent place to start. An experienced economist, Joseph Stiglitz had a brilliant career in academia before serving for four years on President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisors and then three years as chief economist and senior vice president of the World Bank.

"A damning denunciation of things as they are, and a platform for how we can do better."--Andrew Leonard, Salon Four years after he outlined the challenges our increasingly interdependent world was facing in Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E. Stiglitz offered his agenda for reform. Now in paperback, Making Globalization Work offers inventive solutions to a host of problems, including the indebtedness of developing countries, international fiscal instability, and worldwide pollution. Stiglitz also argues for the reform of global financial institutions, trade agreements, and intellectu

An incisive look at the global economic crisis, our flawed response, and the implications for the world’s future prosperity. The Great Recession, as it has come to be called, has impacted more people worldwide than any crisis since the Great Depression. Flawed government policy and unscrupulous personal and corporate behavior in the United States created the current financial meltdown, which was exported across the globe with devastating consequences. The crisis has sparked an essential debate about America’s economic missteps, the soundness of this country’s economy, and even the approp

"A disproportionate amount of the best in modern economics is Stiglitz’s creation. This book uses it to illuminate a classic question concerning the organization of the public side of our lives. Judged in terms of both depth and reach, this elegantly written volume is never less than what we have come to expect for one of the most significant social thinkers of our time." -- Partha Dasgupta, University of Cambridge "Whither Socialism? is to be recommended. It offers deep new thinking on a big subject: the role of the state. It is rigorous and accessible, a rare combination." -- T

Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Laureate in economics, has been a first-hand witness of the devastating effect that globalization can have on the poorest countries of the planet. In this work he maintains that globalization can be a beneficial aspect and that its potential is the enrichment of everyone. He states that governments can and must adopt policies that support the growth of countries in an equal manner, and must fulfill equitable and fair rules that take care of the poor as well as the powerful.

How one of the greatest economic expansions in history sowed the seeds of its own collapse. In the 1990’s, yes, jobs were created, technology prospered, inflation fell, and poverty was reduced. But at the same time the foundation was laid for the economic problems we face today. This groundbreaking work by the Nobel Prize-winning economist argues that much of what we understood about the 90s’ prosperity is wrong, that the theories that have been used to guide world leaders and anchor key business decisions were fundamentally outdated.
