Description

"A damning denunciation of things as they are, and a platform for how we can do better."—Andrew Leonard, Salon

Building on the international bestseller Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E. Stiglitz offers here an agenda of inventive solutions to our most pressing economic, social, and environmental challenges, with each proposal guided by the fundamental insight that economic globalization continues to outpace both the political structures and the moral sensitivity required to ensure a just and sustainable world. As economic interdependence continues to gather the peoples of the world into a single community, it brings with it the need to think and act globally. This trenchant, intellectually powerful, and inspiring book is an invaluable step in that process.

Reviews

"A brave book.... Stiglitz does an excellent job of describing dense topics... in language that's understandable and accessible." — Russ Juskalian, USA Today

"A searing critique of the conventional wisdom.... Stiglitz's analysis is eye-opening... because it is consistent and comprehensive, and he writes with rare clarity and passion for a distinguished economist." — Jeffrey E. Garten, Newsweek

"A well-written and informative primer on the major global economic problems. [Stiglitz] helps his readers understand exactly what is at stake." — Jeffry Frieden, New York Times Book Review

"An excellent book... a lodestar for those who want to achieve a different and better world." — Guardian

"You don't have to agree with Stiglitz on every point to benefit from his creative thinking." — Peter Coy, BusinessWeek
