Sinossi
C'è un'enorme frattura che divide il mondo di oggi: quella che separa l'1 per cento ricco dal restante 99 per cento. Un baratro nelle cui profondità si annidano le cause di molti fenomeni politici e sociali che agitano il presente. In queste pagine il premio Nobel per l'Economia Joseph Stiglitz affronta, in modo chiaro e accessibile, le dimensioni e l'urgenza della disuguaglianza; le sue cause e le sue conseguenze. Ci mostra gli effetti di scelte economiche irresponsabili che negli ultimi trent'anni, in nome della libertà del mercato, hanno acuito il divario tra ricchi e poveri arrivando a minare le basi su cui si fonda il ceto medio. E propone delle soluzioni. Perché la scelta tra crescita e giustizia non è inevitabile; possiamo immaginare di costruire un futuro che sia più prospero e insieme più giusto.

Recensioni
Imagine an economist who doesn't have his head up his butt. That's Stiglitz. This is a collection, so some of the stuff is from the Bush years. Still much of it is classic.
Sorry, I cannot recommend this book. First, if you're looking for scholarship, this is not it. Rather it is nearly totally a collection of newspaper columns and of course we cannot expect good references for those. Some of them are many years old and clearly outdated. There is a little additional in Leggi tutto
I bought this book in hope to discover Stiglitz's conjecture on inequality, hoping to do so by reading his latest book. His promotion of it on Bloomberg might have precipitated this choice. If only I knew this would be a mere collection of articles of his (most of which are freely available online)
The book is a collection of Stiglitz's writings in popular media. My low ratings owe mainly to the repetitiveness of the main themes and arguments in various chapters; It gets very boring to read. Sectional introductions are written pretty well and reading just them is sufficient in my opinion; the
Dr. Stiglitz is a very accomplished economist with a decidedly liberal point of view. His focus on income inequality and the necessity of addressing the issue is very timely. What I don't understand is his insistence on demonizing those who may not agree with him, or believe there are other solution Leggi tutto

Nice collection for Stiglitz fans The growing disparity in income and wealth between the richest Americans and “the rest of us” is very much in the news these days, but Nobel-Prize-winning economist Joseph Stigliz has been writing about it for a long time. This book brings together short pieces that Leggi tutto
This is a collection of essays and articles originally written for Politico, NY Times, Project Syndicate etc. As a book, it gets a bit tiresome to read the same argument over and over (as often the case such collections). Sometimes I wish, for instance in the introductions to each section, to have s Leggi tutto
Economy might be a boring subject for the majority of readers, however, a number of economists have been trying to popularise important debates on economic issues. Such arguments have caught the imaginations of several citizens concerned with their economic prospects. Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel Laure Leggi tutto
