Freefall: free markets and the sinking of the global economy
Stiglitz, Joseph E.
Freefall: free markets and the sinking of the global economy - London Allen Lane and Penguin Press 2010 - xxx, 361 p.
The current global financial crisis carries a made-in-America label. In this forthright and incisive book, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz explains how America exported bad economics, bad policies, and bad behaviour to the rest of the world, only to cobble together a haphazard and ineffective response when the markets finally seized up. Drawing on his academic expertise, his years spent shaping policy in the Clinton administration and at the World Bank, and his more recent role as head of a UN commission charged with reforming the global financial system, Stiglitz outlines a way forward building on ideas that he has championed his entire career: restoring the balance between markets and government, addressing the inequalities of the global financial system, and demanding more good ideas (and less ideology) from economists.
