Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited

Over 1 million copies sold worldwide. Important new edition. From Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, "Globalization and Its Discontents" is the bestselling exposé on the all-powerful organizations that control our lives. Joseph Stiglitz's groundbreaking book revealed how globalization harmed those it was meant to help. Many of his predictions have come true, and it has become a benchmark in the debate. This important new edition revisits the ongoing mismanagement of globalization and how it has led to our current political and economic discontents. Globalization can still be a force for good, Stiglitz argues, but the balance of power must change. Here he offers real, hard solutions for the future. "A massively important political as well as economic document... we should urgently listen to it," Will Hutton, Guardian. "Stiglitz is a rare breed, a maverick economist who has stirred the waters.".
