The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict

32 reviews
Joseph E. Stiglitz, Linda J. Bilmes

W. W. Norton, 2008

$3 trillion would have been cheap
This book puts forth a lot of numbers and tries to put a price on certain things that should not have to have a price on it: such as the price of a human life. But it needs to happen because obviously this country does not value the lives of its soldiers. This book backs up the sentiment that veterans feel, that their life, sacrifices and the sacrifices of their family are for not. ...

W. W. Norton, 2007

Much Needed Work!
In the preface to The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money John Maynard Keynes wrote `The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds".

The Roaring Nineties: A New History of the World's Most Prosperous Decade

Joseph E. Stiglitz

W. W. Norton & Company, 2004

A new form of social Darwinism: let the fittest survive
Joseph Stiglitz's analysis of the national and international social and economic policies of the Bush II governments is devastating. Nationally, the state of the union is far from brilliant with its huge wealth inequality, a large number of people in prison, anxiety and insecurity (millions without health insurance), high infant mortality rates, unconcern about the deterioration of the ...

Escaping the Resource Curse (Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and ...

Columbia University Press, 2007

The wealth derived from natural resources can have a tremendous impact on the economics and politics of producing countries. In the last quarter century, we have seen the surprising and sobering consequences of this wealth, producing what is now known as the "resource curse." Countries with large endowments of natural resources, such as oil and gas, often do worse than their poorer neighbors. Their resource wealth frequently leads to lower ...

Globalization and Its Discontents

Joseph E. Stiglitz

W. W. Norton & Company, 2003

must read!
Joseph Stiglitz thoroughly disects the brain dead institution called the IMF. Read this book and you will clearly see why African countries and other 3rd world countries are as poor as they are. it's not simply because of corruption and mismangement by their government as we all tend to believe. It's not even a conspiracy of any kind. It's just stupid policies by arrogant idiots forcing unproven ...

Fair Trade for All: How Trade Can Promote Development

6 reviews
Joseph E. Stiglitz, Charlt Andrew

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

A radical new trade model
The authors state rightly that trade policies should be designed to raise living standards and to integrate developing countries into the world trading system. Global poverty (more than 2 billion people live on less than a dollar a day) is the world's most pressing problem. They say rightly that the developed countries have to date received the lion's share of the benefits from previous trade ...

Privatization: Successes and Failures (Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development ...

Columbia University Press, 2008

The privatization of large state-owned enterprises is one of the most radical policy developments of the last quarter century. Right-wing governments have privatized in an effort to decrease the size of government, while left-wing governments have privatized either to compensate for the failures of state-owned firms or to generate revenues. In this way, privatization has spread from Europe to Latin America, from Asia to Africa, reaching its ...

Joseph E. Stiglitz

The MIT Press, 1996

Economics of the Real World
Stiglitz shows how much things can change, when you drop assumtions like costless information, zero transaction costs etc. According to the general equilibrium theories he crizices, a central planner could archive an outcome that is at least as efficient or better than the market, by imitating perfect competition (Lange-Lerner-Taylor Theorem). Stiglitz shows that by dropping unrealistic ...

It then goes over how that is being transformed and what we can expect in the ...

Capital Market Liberalization and Development (Initiative for Policy Dialogue Series)

Oxford University Press, USA, 2008

Capital market liberalization has been a key battle in the debate on globalization for much of the previous two decades. Many developing countries, often at the behest of international financial institutions such as the IMF, opened their capital accounts and liberalized their domestic financial markets as part of the wave of liberalization that characterized the 1980s and 1990s and in doing so exposed their economies to increased risk and ...
