- Synopsis
- Writing for a non-specialist audience, Nobel Prize-winning economist Stiglitz (Columbia U.) offers his analysis of the flawed policies pushed by market fundamentalists that led to the "Great Recession" that began in 2008. He provides a wide-ranging discussion that both identifies the causes of the economic crisis and evaluates the response to it, focusing on the housing bubble and the failure to properly regulate finance. He also considers solutions to both the present crisis and ongoing economic balances within the United States and around the world. Those familiar with Stiglitz will find few major surprises, while those unfamiliar with his work can expect a broadly Post-Keynesian approach to the issues at hand.
