No one has challenged the policies of the international
financial community as profoundly as Joseph Stiglitz, the former
Chief Economist of the World Bank. In controversial speeches made
around the world, Stiglitz has undone the conventional wisdom that
dominated policy-making at the World Bank, the International
Monetary Fund and the US Treasury Department.
For the first time, Stiglitz's nine most revealing speeches have
been gathered together, covering such topics as the failure of
shock therapy and transition economics, the limits of capital
market liberalization, the myopia of the Washington consensus, the
role of knowledge in markets, the process of developing market
institutions and the primacy of openness and worker participation.
Along with Dr Ha-Joon Chang's insightful commentary, they form the
most powerful representation of Stiglitz's thinking to be found
anywhere. A landmark collection of material for economists
everywhere.
