Globalization and Its Discontents - by Joseph E Stiglitz (Paperback)

This book by Joseph E.

Stiglitz provides an insider's account of global economic policy, offering a ringside seat for major economic events of the last decade.

As chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz became increasingly disillusioned with the International Monetary Fund and other institutions prioritizing Wall Street interests over those of developing nations.

The book includes a reform agenda that will provoke debate for years to come, while offering no simple formula for making globalization work.

With a new foreword for this paperback edition, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the hostility of protesters in Seattle and Genoa.
