Joseph E. Stiglitz Libros

Joseph E. Stiglitz, premio Nobel de economía, ha sido testigo del efecto devastador que la globalización puede tener sobre los países más pobres del planeta gracias a su puesto como vicepresidente del Banco Mundial. En esta obra sostiene que la globalización puede ser una fuerza benéfica siempre que nos replanteemos el modo en el que ha sido gestionada. El dolor padecido por los países en desarrollo en el proceso de desarrollo orientado por el FMI y las organizaciones económicas internacionales ha sido muy superior al necesario. La economía puede parecer una disciplina árida, pero las buenas políticas económicas contribuyen a mejorar la vida de la gente más pobre. Los gobiernos deben y pueden adoptar políticas que orienten el crecimiento de los países de modo equitativo. Constituimos una comunidad global y debemos cumplir una serie de reglas para convivir. Estas reglas deben ser justas, deben atender a los pobres y a los poderosos, y reflejar un sentimiento básico de decencia y justicia social.

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. A landmark collection of material for economists everywhere.

The fact that our global economy is broken may be widely accepted, but what precisely needs to be fixed has become the subject of enormous controversy. In 2008, the president of the United Nations General Assembly convened an international panel, chaired by Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and including twenty leading international experts on the international monetary system, to address this crucial issue.The Stiglitz Report , released by the committee in late 2009, sees the recent financial crisis as the latest and most damaging of several concurrent crises―of food, water, energy, and sustainability―that are tightly interrelated. The analysis and recommendations in the report cover the gamut from short-term mitigation to deep structural changes, from crisis response to reform of the global, economic, and financial architecture.The report establishes a bold agenda for policy change, that is sure to be the gold standard for understanding and contending with the international economy for many years to come. The Stiglitz Report is essential reading for anyone concerned about a secure and prosperous world.
