This powerful, unsettling audiobook gives us a rare glimpse
behind the closed doors of global financial institutions by the
winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics.
When it was first published, this national bestseller quickly
became a touchstone in the globalization debate. Renowned economist
and Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz had a ringside seat for
most of the major economic events of the last decade, including
stints as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and chief
economist at the World Bank. Particularly concerned with the plight
of the developing nations, he became increasingly disillusioned as
he saw the International Monetary Fund and other major institutions
put the interests of Wall Street and the financial community ahead
of the poorer nations. Those seeking to understand why
globalization has engendered the hostility of protesters in Seattle
and Genoa will find the reasons here. While this audiobook includes
no simple formula on how to make globalization work, Stiglitz
provides a reform agenda that will provoke debate for years to
come. Rarely do we get such an insider's analysis of the major
institutions of globalization as in this penetrating audiobook.
