Out of the crisis of our times, Joseph Stiglitz's Freefall: Free
Markets and the Sinking of the Global Economy is a convincing,
coherent and humane account that goes to the heart of how we run
our societies. When the world economy went into freefall, so too
did our unquestioning faith in markets. But what happens now? Are
bailouts and stern lectures enough, or do we need a rethink of our
entire financial system? This acclaimed and inspiring book, by one
of the world's leading economic thinkers, dissects the flawed ideas
that led to the credit crunch, but also looks to the future.
Drawing on his years spent shaping policy at the World Bank, Nobel
Laureate Joseph Stiglitz shows why far more radical reforms are
needed to avoid future crises, why the cost of recovery should be
borne by the financial sector, and how we now have the opportunity
to create a new global economic order. 'Bang on the money ...
unafraid to ask tough questions ... we need more of his ilk' Will
Hutton, Observer 'A brilliant analysis ... always enthralling'
Martin Jacomb, Spectator Business 'A powerful new book' Devin
Leonard, The New York Times 'A seer of almost Keynesian proportions
... this is Joe Stiglitz's victory lap' Michael Hirsh, Newsweek
Joseph Stiglitz was Chief Economist at the World Bank until January

School and Chair of the Management Board and Director of Graduate
Summer Programs, Brooks World Poverty Institute, University of
Manchester. He won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2001 and is the
author of the best-selling Globalization and Its Discontents,
Making Globalization Work, The Roaring Nineties and The Price of
Inequality, all published by Penguin.
