Joseph Stiglitz Knihy

Co je skutečným pramenem prudkého růstu životní úrovně v posledních dvou stoletích? Co odlišuje úspěšné firmy od neúspěšných? Proč se některým rozvojovým zemím daří dohánět náskok vyspělého světa, zatímco jiné setrvávají v chudobě navzdory tomu, jak důsledně se řídí radami uznávaných ekonomických expertů a světových institucí? Klíč k odpovědím na tyto otázky nespočívá v akumulaci kapitálu, ani v množství zdrojů či výstupů, ale ve schopnosti učit se a získané znalosti efektivně sdílet. Autoři této knihy vysvětlují, v čem se produkce znalostí liší od produkce jiných statků a proč tržní ekonomika sama o sobě nedokáže zajistit jejich efektivní tvorbu ani šíření.

Několik let po finanční krizi se ukazuje, že jednotná evropská měna byla chybný projekt: nebral v úvahu různorodost evropských států a především v sobě neměl (a nemá) zabudovány mechanismy, které by Evropu ochránily před hospodářskými krizemi, jako byla ta z roku 2007/ 2008. Euro vyprojektovali politici s přesvědčením, že ekonomická integrace automaticky přinese integraci politickou. Dnes je zřejmé, že se mýlili. Joseph Stiglitz, nositel Nobelovy ceny za ekonomii, zasvěceně popisuje genezi problémů, které euro přineslo. Ukazuje, jak jednotná měna zvýraznila rozdíly mezi „věřitelskou Evropou“ v čele s Německem, a „Evropou dlužníků“ v čele s Řeckem. Podle Stiglitze je neudržitelný současný stav, kdy se „hasí“ jen ty nepalčivější problémy. Buď se eurozóna musí proměnit v plnohodnotnou měnovou unii, která bude mít společnou fiskální politiku (společný rozpočet, společné dluhopisy), nebo se musí rozpadnout na „dvě, tři kompatibilnější části“, případně zavést „flexibilnější euro“, což je částečně návrat k národním měnám. Pokud se nic nestane, můžou vysoká nezaměstnanost a další sociální problémy v řadě evropských zemí postupně vést k nepokojům, růstu napětí a nepředvídatelným řešením, jako jsme viděli v případě Brexitu. Pozoruhodná, věcná a srozumitelná analýza globalizované a stále propojenější světové ekonomiky. (společná měna jako hrozba pro budoucnost Evropy)

Kniha nositele Nobelovy ceny za ekonomii představuje zasvěcený pohled do procesu globálního ekonomického rozhodování a čtenářský obdiv získala jak pro svou odvahu a poctivost, tak i pro myšlenkovou hloubku a neotřelost. Joseph E. Stiglitz (1943) působil několik let jako předseda Výboru ekonomických poradců Billa Clintona a byl i hlavním ekonomem Světové banky. Soustředil se především na postavení rozvojových zemí, přičemž stále častěji kritizoval kroky Světové banky, měnového fondu i americké vlády, jež podle jeho názoru nadřazovaly zájmy Wall Street a finanční komunity potřebám chudších zemí. Stiglitz přesto není zastáncem radikálních řešení. Naopak, podrobně zkoumá možnosti evolučních kroků, jako je hledání spravedlivějších vztahů v mezinárodním obchodu a větší zastoupení rozvojových zemí v mezinárodních finančních institucích. Jeho kniha chce ve sporu o globalizaci vyprovokovat diskusi, což se jí zjevně daří.

The book builds upon the Wicksell lectures delivered at the Stockholm School of Economics in April 1990, offering an in-depth exploration of economic theories and concepts. It delves into the implications of these lectures, providing insights into the development of economic thought and its relevance to contemporary issues. The content is enriched with analytical perspectives, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the evolution of economic ideas and their application in modern contexts.

Integrates contemporary economics into the traditional curriculum. This book offers coverage of the economics of information and imperfect markets. It emphasises on the critical role of capital markets in the macro economy.

This book explores the insights and contributions of the Nobel Prize for Economics, highlighting key theories, influential economists, and the impact of their work on understanding economic principles and policies. It serves as a comprehensive overview of the evolution of economic thought through award-winning research.

In controversial speeches made around the world, Stiglitz has undone the conventional wisdom that dominated policy-making at the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the US Treasury Department. For the first time, Stiglitz's nine most revealing speeches have been gathered together, covering such topics as the failure of shock therapy and transition economics, the limits of capital market liberalization, the myopia of the Washington consensus, the role of knowledge in markets, the process of developing market institutions and the primacy of openness and worker participation. A landmark collection of material for economists everywhere.

Over 1 million copies sold worldwide MAJOR NEW EDITION From Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, Globalization and its Discontents is the bestselling exposé of the all-powerful organizations that control our lives. Joseph Stiglitz's landmark book lifted the lid on how globalization was hurting those it was meant to help. Many of its predictions came true, and it became a touchstone in the debate. This major new edition looks afresh at the continuing 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 has to change. Here he offers real, tough solutions for the future. 'A massively important political as well as economic document ... we should listen to him urgently' Will Hutton, Guardian 'Stiglitz is a rare breed, an heretical economist who has ruffled the self- satisfied global establishment that once fed him. Globalization and its Discontents declares war on the entire Washington financial and economic establishment' Ian Fraser, Sunday Herald 'Gripping ... this landmark book shows him to be a worthy successor to Keynes' Robin Blackburn, Independent

The fact that our global economy is broken may be widely accepted, but what precisely needs to be fixed has become the subject of enormous controversy. In 2008, the president of the United Nations General Assembly convened an international panel, chaired by Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz and including twenty leading international experts on the international monetary system, to address this crucial issue.The Stiglitz Report , released by the committee in late 2009, sees the recent financial crisis as the latest and most damaging of several concurrent crises―of food, water, energy, and sustainability―that are tightly interrelated. The analysis and recommendations in the report cover the gamut from short-term mitigation to deep structural changes, from crisis response to reform of the global, economic, and financial architecture.The report establishes a bold agenda for policy change, that is sure to be the gold standard for understanding and contending with the international economy for many years to come. The Stiglitz Report is essential reading for anyone concerned about a secure and prosperous world.

From a leading economist comes a compelling vision of personal and economic freedom. The nation was founded on the belief in individual liberty, yet since the mid-20th century, this idea has been distorted. Political forces on the Right have masked exploitation with rhetoric about freedom, resulting in pharmaceutical companies overcharging, unregulated Big Tech, and corporations polluting without consequence. This raises critical questions about whose freedom is prioritized and should be prioritized. In this work, Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz examines America's economic system and the political ideologies that shaped it, revealing their failures. Unfettered markets have led to crises like the financial collapse, the opioid epidemic, and growing inequality, benefiting a small elite while wages stagnate for the majority. Such exploitation has fueled populist movements that equate freedom with the abandonment of civic responsibility, posing a threat to genuine economic and political liberty. Drawing on his extensive experience as an advisor and chief economist, Stiglitz critiques the neoliberal agenda and challenges the ideas of influential economists. He advocates for a reevaluation of freedom that accounts for conflicts between individuals and emphasizes collective action through regulation and investment. The urgency of this task is paramount, making this work essential for anyone dedicated to fostering an economic and

America currently has the most inequality, and the least equality of opportunity, among the advanced countries. While market forces play a role in this stark picture, politics has shaped those market forces. In this best-selling book, Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz exposes the efforts of well-heeled interests to compound their wealth in ways that have stifled true, dynamic capitalism. Along the way he examines the effect of inequality on our economy, our democracy, and our system of justice. Stiglitz explains how inequality affects and is affected by every aspect of national policy, and with characteristic insight he offers a vision for a more just and prosperous future, supported by a concrete program to achieve that vision."

Inequality is a choice.The United States bills itself as the land of opportunity, a place where anyone can achieve success and a better life through hard work and determination. But the facts tell a different story—the U.S. today lags behind most other developed nations in measures of inequality and economic mobility. For decades, wages have stagnated for the majority of workers while economic gains have disproportionately gone to the top one percent. Education, housing, and health care—essential ingredients for individual success—are growing ever more expensive. Deeply rooted structural discrimination continues to hold down women and people of color, and more than one-fifth of all American children now live in poverty. These trends are on track to become even worse in the future.Some economists claim that today’s bleak conditions are inevitable consequences of market outcomes, globalization, and technological progress. If we want greater equality, they argue, we have to sacrifice growth. This is simply not true. American inequality is the result of misguided structural rules that actually constrict economic growth. We have stripped away worker protections and family support systems, created a tax system that rewards short-term gains over long-term investment, offered a de facto public safety net to too-big-to-fail financial institutions, and chosen monetary and fiscal policies that promote wealth over full employment.

Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy remains one of the greatest works of social theory written in the twentieth Century. Schumpeter's contention that the seeds of capitalism's decline were internal, and his equal and opposite hostility to centralist socialism have perplexed, engaged and infuriated readers since the book's first publication in 1943. By refusing to become an advocate for either position, Schumpeter was able both to make his own great and original contribution and to clear the way for a more balanced consideration of the most important social movements of his and our time.

A companion to his acclaimed work in Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy, Joseph E. Stiglitz, along with Carter Dougherty and the Foundation for European Progressive Studies, lays out the economic framework for a Europe with faster growth that is more equitably shared. Europe is in crisis. Sluggish economic growth in many countries, widespread income stagnation, and recession have led to severe political and social consequences. Social protections for citizens have been cut back. Governments offer timid responses to deep-seated problems. These economic and political failures have contributed to the rise of extremist parties on the right. Marginalized populations are being made scapegoats for Europe’s woes. But the problems of today’s Europe stem from decisions based on a blind worship of markets in too many areas of policy. If Europe is to return to an innovative and dynamic economy—and if there is to be shared prosperity, social solidarity, and justice—then EU countries need to break with their current, destructive trajectory. This volume offers concrete strategies for renewal that would also reinvigorate the project of European integration, with fresh ideas in the areas of both macroeconomics and microeconomics, including central banking, public investment, corporate governance and competition policy, social policy, and international trade.

In this book Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us-the U.S. citizens-and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all. An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time

The 1990s promised prosperity for the world: a new ara of unprecedented economic growth, with capitalism American-style reigning supreme. So where did it all go wrong? As Chairman of Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist at the World Bank, Joseph Stiglitz was uniquely placed to watch first-hand as the nineties unfolded. This definitive, shocking insider's account reveals the truth about that extraordinary decade of boom-and-bust. The Roaring Nineties claims that much of what we understand about the decade's prosperity is in fact wrong - that it was the US's mistaken economic policies of the time that paved the way for worldwide recession. Yes, jobs were created, technology prospered, productivity rose, inflation fell and new markets opened up everywhere. But at the same time the seeds were sown for the economic problems we face today.

In the face of rising inequality in America, Joseph E. Stiglitz charts a path toward real recovery and a more equal society. A singular voice of reason in an era defined by bitter politics and economic uncertainty, Joseph E. Stiglitz has time and again diagnosed America’s greatest economic challenges, from the Great Recession and its feeble recovery to the yawning gap between the rich and the poor. The Great Divide gathers his most provocative reflections to date on the subject of inequality. As Stiglitz ably argues, a healthy economy and a fairer democracy are within our grasp if we can put aside misguided interests and ideologies and abandon failed policies. Opening with the essay that gave the Occupy Movement its slogan, “We are the 99%,” later essays in The Great Divide reveal equality of opportunity as a national myth, show that today’s outsized inequality is a matter of choice, and explain reforms that would spur higher growth, more opportunity, and greater equality.

Joseph E. Stiglitz, explains why saving Europe may mean abandoning the Euro with his new book full of constructive proposals (Financial Times). He outlines three possible ways forward: fundamental reforms in the structure of the Euro zone and the policies imposed on the member countries suffering the most, a well-managed end to the European Union or a bold, new system dubbed the flexible Euro.

The welfare state has been under attack for decades, but now more than ever we need strong social programs to combat inequality, support social justice, and even improve economic performance. This book brings together distinguished contributors to examine global variations of social programs and make the case for a redesigned welfare state.

Why isn't globalization benefiting as many people as it should? Joe Stiglitz shows us that things can change and that an optimistic world can exist where globalization really does work. Stiglitz examines how change has occurred rapidly over the past four years, proposing solutions and looking to the future. He puts forward radical new ways of dealing with the crippling indebtedness of developing countries, a new system of global reserves to overcome international financial instability and a new framework, combining economic incentives and principles of equity, for dealing with the greatest threat to our planet, global warming - one which is more likely to be accepted both by the US and the developing world than previous proposals. He argues convincingly for the reform of global institutions such as the UN, the IMF and the World Bank to make them truly capable of responding to the problems of our age and shows why treating developing countries more fairly is not only morally right, but ultimately will be to the benefit of the developed countries as well.

In the midst of our current crisis, Joseph Stiglitz offers a compelling and humane examination of how we manage our societies in his insightful work. The collapse of the global economy has shaken our faith in markets, prompting critical questions about the adequacy of bailouts and whether we need a fundamental reevaluation of our financial system. This acclaimed author, a leading voice in economics, analyzes the flawed ideas that contributed to the credit crunch while also envisioning a more sustainable future. Drawing from his extensive experience at the World Bank, Nobel Laureate Stiglitz argues for radical reforms to prevent future crises, emphasizing that the financial sector should bear the recovery costs and that we have a unique opportunity to establish a new global economic framework. Critics praise his work as "bang on the money" and "always enthralling," highlighting his ability to tackle tough questions. Stiglitz, who served as Chief Economist at the World Bank and is currently a professor at Columbia Business School, has authored several influential books, including bestsellers that address globalization and inequality. His insights are essential for understanding and navigating the complexities of today's economic landscape.

A "New York Times" bestseller, "Freefall" recounts the recent financial crisis and the way forward by a Nobel Prize-winning economist. This edition includes a new Afterword.

"Designed to bring Europe closer together, the euro has actually done the opposite- after nearly a decade without growth, unity has been replaced with dissent and enlargements with prospective exits. Joseph Stiglitz argues that Europe's stagnation and bleak outlook are a direct result of the fundamental flaws inherent in the euro project - economic integration outpacing political integration with a structure that actively promotes divergence rather than convergence. Money relentlessly leaves the weaker member states and goes to the strong, with debt accumulating in a few ill-favoured countries. The question now is- can the euro be saved? Laying bare the European Central Bank's misguided inflation-only mandate and explaining why austerity has condemned Europe to unending stagnation, Stiglitz outlines three possible ways forward- fundamental reforms in the structure of the Eurozone and the policies imposed on the member countries suffering the most; a well-managed end to the euro; or a bold, new system he dubs the 'flexible euro;. This important book, by one of the world's leading economists, addresses the euro-crisis on a bigger intellectual scale than any predecessor."

In February of 2008, amid the looming global financial crisis, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France asked Nobel Prize–winning economists Joseph Stiglitz and Amartya Sen, along with the distinguished French economist Jean Paul Fitoussi, to establish a commission of leading economists to study whether Gross Domestic Product (GDP)—the most widely used measure of economic activity—is a reliable indicator of economic and social progress. The Commission was given the further task of laying out an agenda for developing better measures.Mismeasuring Our Lives is the result of this major intellectual effort, one with pressing relevance for anyone engaged in assessing how and whether our economy is serving the needs of our society. The authors offer a sweeping assessment of the limits of GDP as a measurement of the well-being of societies—considering, for example, how GDP overlooks economic inequality (with the result that most people can be worse off even though average income is increasing); and does not factor environmental impacts into economic decisions.In place of GDP, Mismeasuring Our Lives introduces a bold new array of concepts, from sustainable measures of economic welfare, to measures of savings and wealth, to a “green GDP.” At a time when policymakers worldwide are grappling with unprecedented global financial and environmental issues, here is an essential guide to measuring the things that matter.

The true cost of the Iraq War is $3 trillion―and counting―rather than the $50 billion projected by the White House. Apart from its tragic human toll, the Iraq War will be staggeringly expensive in financial terms. This sobering study by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes casts a spotlight on expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veterans―for the rest of their lives. Shifting to a global focus, the authors investigate the cost in lives and economic damage within Iraq and the region. Finally, with the chilling precision of an actuary, the authors measure what the U.S. taxpayer's money would have produced if instead it had been invested in the further growth of the U.S. economy. Written in language as simple as the details are disturbing, this book will forever change the way we think about the war.

Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and author of the New York Times bestselling book Globalization and Its Discontents , Joseph E. Stiglitz here joins with fellow economist Andrew Charlton to offer a challenging and controversial argument about how globalization can actually help Third World countries to develop and prosper.In Fair Trade For All , Stiglitz and Charlton address one of the key issues facing world leaders today--how can the poorer countries of the world be helped to help themselves through freer, fairer trade? To answer this question, the authors put forward a radical and realistic new model for managing trading relationships between the richest and the poorest countries. Their approach is designed to open up markets in the interests of all nations and not just the most powerful economies, to ensure that trade promotes development, and to minimize the costs of adjustments. The book illuminates the reforms and principles upon which a successful settlement must be based.Vividly written, highly topical, and packed with insightful analyses, Fair Trade For All offers a radical new solution to the problems of world trade. It is a must read for anyone interested in globalization and development in the Third World.

The book critiques the enduring narrative of neoliberalism, which promotes the idea that minimal regulation and unfettered capitalism lead to increased prosperity and individual freedom. It explores how this perspective, despite its evident shortcomings, continues to influence public opinion and government policies globally, arguing that the moral implications of such a belief system warrant closer examination.

"There is growing dissatisfaction with the economic policies advocated by the IMF and other international financial institutions - policies that have often resulted in stagnating growth, crises, and recessions for client countries. This book presents an alternative to "Washington Consensus" neo-liberal economic policies by showing that both macro-economic and liberalization policy must be sensitive to the particular circumstances of developing countries. One-size-fits-all policy prescriptions are likely to fail given the vast differences between countries. This book discusses how alternative approaches to economic policy can better serve developing countries both in ordinary times and in times of crisis."--Book cover

Joseph Stiglitz, ein scharfer Kritiker der Sparpolitik, die von der deutschen Bundesregierung als Ausweg aus der Eurokrise propagiert wird, argumentiert, dass kein Sparprogramm die strukturellen Mängel der Gemeinschaftswährung beheben kann. Um die Einheit der Eurozone zu bewahren, müssen die Mitgliedsstaaten neue Ansätze verfolgen. In seinem neuen Werk zeigt Stiglitz auf, wie diese Lösungswege aussehen könnten. Er legt schonungslos dar, dass die Austeritätspolitik sowohl die europäische Einheit als auch das Wirtschaftswachstum gefährdet und kritisiert die Europäische Zentralbank für ihren Fokus auf Inflationsbekämpfung zur Krisenbewältigung. Anstatt diese Politik als „alternativlos“ zu betrachten, präsentiert Stiglitz drei mögliche Lösungen: eine grundlegende Reform der Eurozone und ihrer Auflagen für Krisenländer, eine geregelte Auflösung der Europäischen Union oder die Schaffung eines neuen europäischen Finanzsystems – des „flexiblen Euro“. Mit seinen Argumenten bringt der Nobelpreisträger frischen Wind in eine Debatte, die sich zu lange im Kreis gedreht hat, und bietet einen Ausblick auf mögliche Wege zur Lösung der Eurokrise.

Das große Debattenbuch zu einem der brennendsten Themen unserer Zeit Ungleichheit, so zeigt Nobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz eindrucksvoll, ist kein unausweichliches Schicksal, sondern Folge falscher politischer Entscheidungen. Es liegt somit an uns allen, gegen die Spaltung unserer Gesellschaft zu kämpfen. Mit „Reich und Arm” beweist Stiglitz erneut, dass er nicht nur ein brillanter Ökonom, sondern auch ein scharfsinniger politischer Denker ist, der unermüdlich für eine gerechtere Verteilung des Wohlstands kämpft. Dass die Ungleichheit in unserer Gesellschaft ständig wächst, ist das Ergebnis einer seit Jahren fehlgeleiteten Politik – das weist Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz in diesem Buch anhand vieler Beispiele nach. Er zeigt, wo falsche Entscheidungen getroffen wurden und welche Risiken die wachsende Ungleichheit birgt. Und er sagt, was wir, jene 99 Prozent der Bevölkerung, denen die zunehmende Spaltung der Gesellschaft in Reich und Arm schadet, gegen diese Entwicklung tun können. Das vorliegende Buch versammelt die einflussreichsten Texte von Joseph Stiglitz aus den letzten Jahren. Wer über die wachsende Ungleichheit in unserer Gesellschaft mitdiskutieren will, wird an Reich und Arm nicht vorbeikommen.

Nobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz über die Finanzkrise Die Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise, die wir seit dem Zusammenbruch der Investment-Bank Lehman Brothers erleben, ist die schlimmste seit den 1930er Jahren – und trotz Zeichen der Erholung noch lange nicht überstanden. In seinem Buch zeigt Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz, wie es zur weltweiten Krise kommen konnte, und erklärt, was wir tun müssen, um solche Katastrophen in Zukunft zu verhindern.

Der amerikanische Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger spricht über neue Leitplanken für eine gerechtere Weltwirtschaft. Passgenaue öffentliche Ausgaben, vor allem Investitionen in die grüne Wirtschaft, sind das Gebot der Stunde. Können wir die nationalen Wirtschaften nach Corona wiederaufrichten? Ja, aber nur mit mehr Kooperation, nicht weniger! Die Probleme nach Corona sind die Probleme vor Corona, nur schlimmer. Das hat die Pandemie schonungslos gezeigt. Ob Ungleichheit und Klimawandel, Wirtschaft und Arbeit, Geschlechterverhältnisse, Gesellschaft, Demokratie und Staat – Corona beschleunigt alte Missstände und Widersprüche. Was sind die Folgen? Wie kommen wir da wieder raus? Und was können wir besser machen? Ein Band aus unserer Corona-Interviewreihe, in der acht prominente Köpfe aus Wissenschaft, Politik und Kultur Antworten geben.

Viele Arme, wenige Reiche - Warum die wachsende Ungleichheit uns alle angeht Die Ungleichheit in der Welt nimmt zu: Immer weniger Menschen häufen immer größeren Reichtum an, während die Zahl der Armen wächst und die Mittelschicht vom Abstieg bedroht ist. Doch diese Entwicklung, so zeigt Nobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz in seinem neuen Bestseller, ist keine zwangsläufige Folge einer freien Marktwirtschaft, sondern Ergebnis einer globalisierten Ökonomie, die zunehmend vom reichsten einen Prozent der Bevölkerung beherrscht wird.Die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich wird größer, daran konnte auch die weltweite Finanz- und Wirtschaftskrise nichts ändern – im Gegenteil. Politik und Wirtschaft scheinen selbst in der Krise immer einseitiger den Interessen der Superreichen zu folgen, während es vielen Menschen zunehmend schlechter geht. Besonders drastisch lässt sich diese Entwicklung in den USA erkennen. Doch die wachsende Ungleichheit hat ihren Preis, wie Joseph Stiglitz in seinem neuen Buch zeigt. Sie behindert Wirtschaft und Wachstum, führt zu weniger Chancengerechtigkeit und korrumpiert Justiz und Politik. Deswegen ruft Nobelpreisträger Stiglitz dazu auf, die zunehmende Ungleichheit in unseren Gesellschaften nicht einfach hinzunehmen, sondern Wirtschaft und Politik so zu reformieren, dass der Wohlstand wieder gerechter verteilt ist. Die weltweiten Demonstrationen der Occupy-Bewegung können ein erster Schritt in diese Richtung sein.

When it was first published, this national bestseller quickly became a touchstone in the globalization debate. Renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz had a ringside seat for most of the major economic events of the last decade, including stints as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and chief economist at the World Bank. Particularly concerned with the plight of the developing nations, he became increasingly disillusioned as he saw the International Monetary Fund and other major institutions put the interests of Wall Street and the financial community ahead of the poorer nations. Those seeking to understand why globalization has engendered the hostility of protesters in Seattle and Genoa will find the reasons here. While this book includes no simple formula on how to make globalization work, Stiglitz provides a reform agenda that will provoke debate for years to come. Rarely do we get such an insider's analysis of the major institutions of globalization as in this penetrating book. With a new foreword for this paperback edition.

La globalizzazione non è un male e va abbracciata. A sostenere questa tesi è Stiglitz, autorevole sostenitore della critica alla globalizzazione liberista. Si tratta forse di una ritrattazione del Premio Nobel? In realtà, è il frutto di una constatazione: se la globalizzazione è un processo inevitabile, è possibile farla funzionare in direzione del benessere dei paesi più arretrati e dei cittadini dei paesi avanzati attraverso un mix di politiche di solidarietà e di intervento delle istituzioni internazionali.

In ihrem neuesten Werk enthüllen der Wirtschaftsnobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz und Linda Bilmes die verheerenden Folgen des Irak-Kriegs. Sie analysieren nicht nur die ökonomischen Kosten für die USA und die Welt, sondern beleuchten auch die langfristigen politischen, sozialen und humanitären Auswirkungen, die erst in den kommenden Jahren sichtbar werden. Die finanziellen Belastungen sind enorm und betreffen nicht nur die Soldaten und Zivilbevölkerung, sondern auch die gesamte Weltwirtschaft. Die versteckten und langfristigen Kosten, wie die Versorgung von Veteranen und der Wiederaufbau der Kriegsregion, werden die wirtschaftliche Stärke der Vereinigten Staaten über Jahrzehnte hinweg beeinträchtigen. Zudem gibt es kaum messbare humanitäre und soziale Folgen. In ihrem nüchternen und erschütternden Bericht zeigen Stiglitz und Bilmes auf, welche bislang unterschätzten oder möglicherweise verheimlichten Konsequenzen der Irak-Krieg nach sich zieht. Ihr Buch belegt, dass der Feldzug von Bush nicht nur militärisch sinnlos war, sondern auch in Bezug auf soziale und ökonomische Aspekte ein Desaster darstellt.

Das Buch der Stunde: Wie kämpfen wir gegen die Auswüchse des Kapitalismus? Seit dem Crash von 2008 ist es nicht gelungen, den Kapitalismus wirksam zu reformieren. Ganz im Gegenteil, er droht vollends aus dem Ruder zu laufen: Die Finanzindustrie schreibt sich ihre eigenen Regeln; die großen Tech-Firmen beuten unsere persönlichen Daten aus; die Machtballung in der Industrie nimmt zu und der Staat hat seine Kontrollfunktion praktisch aufgegeben. Nobelpreisträger Joseph Stiglitz zeigt, wie es dazu kommen konnte und warum es, was nicht zuletzt das Beispiel Donald Trump zeigt, dringend nötig ist, den Kapitalismus vor sich selbst zu schützen.

"Caída libre" de Joseph E. Stiglitz analiza las causas y consecuencias de la Gran Recesión, destacando la ineficacia de las políticas públicas y la falta de regulación. El autor, Premio Nobel de economía, propone alternativas para construir una economía próspera y una sociedad más ética en el futuro.

La economía del sector público, 4a edición nos trae la esperada revisión y actualización de este clásico. Joseph E. Stiglitz, Premio Nobel de Economía, y Jay K. Rosengard, recurren a su enorme experiencia para abordar las cuestiones clave de la economía del sector público. Esta nueva edición incluye importantes cambios y se completa haciendo referencia a los nuevos retos que debemos afrontar tras la crisis global de los últimos años. La economía del sector público es un manual escrito pensando en el estudiante, con un lenguaje accesible, y que permite alcanzar un dominio conceptual de la materia más allá de los conocimientos técnicos. Los autores nos familiarizan con una perspectiva global, gracias a su bagaje profesional y su conocimiento de primera mano de cómo proceden los diferentes gobiernos.

Das weltweite Wirtschaftswachstum stagniert. Was lässt sich dagegen tun? Neue Exportmärkte durch mehr Freihandel schaffen? Ganz falsch! Wachstum entsteht vor allem durch Innovation, zeigen Joseph E. Stiglitz und Bruce C. Greenwald. Und Innovation gedeiht am besten an geschützten Orten, wo Raum ist für ständiges Dazulernen. Hohe soziale und ökologische Standards können Industriestaaten zu so einem Ort machen. Entwicklungsländer brauchen sogar noch mehr Schutz: Zölle bieten ihnen die Chance, ihre Ökonomie überhaupt erst aufzubauen. Damit Fortschritt gelingt, müssen wir deshalb statt neuer Freihandelsabkommen eine innovative Gesellschaft möglich machen!

In 2002 uitte Nobelprijswinnaar economie Joseph Stiglitz in <i>Perverse globalisering</i> felle kritiek op de westerse financiële instellingen, die in zijn ogen de economie van ontwikkelingslanden eerder schaadden dan goed deden. In zijn nieuwe boek komt hij met aanbevelingen voor een andere, meer rechtvaardige globalisering. In <i>Perverse globalisering</i> nam Stiglitz het globaliseringsproces onder de loep dat naar zijn mening volledig verkeerd gelopen is na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Hij wees hiervoor westerse financiële instellingen zoals het IMF en het Amerikaanse ministerie van Financiën als hoofdverantwoordelijken aan. Met zijn kritiek ontpopte Stiglitz zich als de goeroe van het ‘andersglobalisme’.

Diese Erfahrungen und die didaktische Brillanz der Darstellung wird sich jeder Studierende des Faches gerne zunutze machen.

Gegen die Freiheit des Raubtierkapitalismus: Warum unsere Gesellschaft eine neue Wirtschaftspolitik braucht, um zukunftsfähig und gerechter zu werden Unter Donald Trump und Elon Musk greift ein Kult der Freiheit um sich. Doch die Wahl- und Meinungsfreiheit, die J.D. Vance &amp; Co. zu einem Fetisch erhoben haben, geht immer auf Kosten der Freiheit anderer. Joseph Stiglitz, Nobelpreisträger und einer der schärfsten Kritiker Donald Trumps, zeigt, wer die Opfer der neuen Meritokratie sind – und wie der Abbau von Bürokratie sowie unregulierte Märkte Wachstum bremsen und unsere Gesellschaften ärmer machen. Doch Stiglitz bleibt nicht bei der Analyse stehen, sondern weist uns den Weg, wie wir das Konzept der Freiheit zurückerobern können. Ein leidenschaftliches Plädoyer für eine gleichermaßen gerechtere wie freiere Welt.
