Globalization And Its Discontents
Paperback Edition: 1
From Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, Globalization and its Discontents is the bestselling expos of the all-powerful organizations that control our lives.
Our world is changing.
Globalization is not working. It is hurting those it was meant to help.
And now, the tide is turning . . .
As chief economist at the world bank, Nobel Prize-winner Joseph Stiglitz had a unique insider's view into the management of globalization. Now he speaks out against it: how the IMF and WTO preach fair trade yet impose crippling economic policies on deveopling nations; how free market 'shock therapy' made millions in East Asia and Russia worse off than they were before; and how the West has driven the global agenda to further its own financial interests.
Globalization can still be a force for good, Stiglitz argues. But the balance of power has to change.
Here he offers real, tough solutions for the future.
