Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Four years after he outlined the challenges our increasingly interdependent world was facing in Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E. Stiglitz offered his agenda for reform. Now in paperback, Making Globalization Workoffers inventive solutions to a host of problems, including the indebtedness of developing countries, international fiscal instability, and worldwide pollution. Stiglitz also argues for the reform of global financial institutions, trade agreements, and intellectual property laws, to make them better able to respond to the growing disparity between the richest and poorest countries. Now more than ever before, globalization has gathered the peoples of the world into one community, bringing with it a need to think and act globally. This trenchant, intellectually powerful book is an invaluable step in that process. This paperback edition contains a brand-new preface. Synopsis:"A damning denunciation of things as they are, and a platform for how we can do better."--Andrew Leonard, Salon Synopsis:Four years after he outlined the challenges our increasingly interdependent world was facing in Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E.

Synopsis:A bold new blueprint for action from one of globalization's closest observers and toughest critics. An imaginative and, above all, practical vision for a successful and equitable world, Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz's Making Globalization Work draws equally from his academic expertise and his time spent on the ground in dozens of countries around the world. In clear language and compelling anecdotes, Stiglitz focuses on policies that truly work, offering fresh new thinking about the questions that shape the globalization debate, including a plan to restructure a global financial system made unstable by America's debt, ideas for how countries can grow without degrading the environment, a framework for free and fair global trade, and much more. Throughout, Stiglitz reveals that economic globalization continues to outpace both the political structures and the moral sensitivity required to ensure a just and sustainable world. And he makes plain the real work that all nations must undertake to realize that goal. About the AuthorWinner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics, Joseph E. Stiglitz teaches at Columbia University. He lives in New York City. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!Average customer rating based on 1 comment:
