This acclaimed and inspiring book, by one of the world's leading economic thinkers, dissects the flawed ideas the led to the crisis, but also looks to the future. Drawing on his years spent shaping policy at the World Bank, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz shows why far more radical reforms are needed to avoid future crises.

How has America become the most unequal advanced country in the world, and what can we do about it?In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his bestselling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter America's growing problem. With his signature blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice—the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities.Gathering his writings for popular outlets including Vanity Fair and the New York Times, Stiglitz exposes in full America's inequality: its dimensions, its causes, and its consequences for the nation and for the world. From the Reagan era to the Great Recession and its long aftermath, Stiglitz delves into the irresponsible policies—deregulation, tax cuts, and tax breaks for the 1 percent—that are leaving many Americans further and further behind and turning the American dream into an ever more unachievable myth. With formidable yet accessible economic insight, he urges us to embrace real solutions: increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy; offering more help to the children of the poor; investing in education, science, and infrastructure; helping out homeowners instead of banks; and, most importantly, doing more to restore the economy to full employment. Stiglitz also draws lessons from Scandinavia, Singapore, and Japan, and he argues against the tide of unnecessary, destructive austerity that is sweeping across Europe.Ultimately, Stiglitz believes, our choice is not between growth and fairness; with the right policies, we can choose both. His complaint is not so much about capitalism as such but how 21st-century capitalism has been perverted. His is a call to confront America's economic inequality as the political and moral issue that it is.

Towards a New Paradigm in Monetary Economics (Raffaele Mattioli Lectures)

Expanding upon the literature of new institutional economics, the first part of this study stresses the significance of imperfections in information, bankruptcy and banks. The second part examines the policy implications of the new paradigm emphasizing loanable fund demand and supply, and demonstrates its relevance to our understanding of two recent historical episodes--the East Asian financial crisis and the 1991 U.S. recession and subsequent recovery and boom.

"This is a catalog [of costs] the Bush team never looked at. It's a catalog that they still don't want you to see."—James Galbraith America has already spent close to a trillion dollars on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but there are hundreds of billions of bills still due—including staggering costs to take care of the thousands of injured veterans, providing them with disability benefits and health care. In this sobering study, Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard University's Linda J. Bilmes reveal a wide range of costs that have been hidden from U.S. taxpayers and left out of the debate about our involvement in Iraq. That involvement, the authors conservatively estimate, will cost us more than $3 trillion. "Stiglitz and Bilmes have clearly demonstrated the need for Congress and the administration to ensure that those making sacrifices today will see those sacrifices honored in the future."—Dave W. Gorman, executive director, Disabled American Veterans

The Three Trillion Dollar War

Bilmes, Linda

Poursuivant le procès du libéralisme sans limites amorcé dans La Grande Désillusion, Joseph Stiglitz s?appuie cette fois sur son expérience de quatre ans en tant que conseiller économique principal du président Clinton pour répondre à une question centrale : comment, au tournant du troisième millénaire, est-on passé du prétendu « triomphe » du capitalisme à l?américaine - bien entendu surévalué et fondé sur des bases très incertaines, notamment l?effervescence boursière et tout ce qui s?ensuit (stock-options, tyrannie des actionnaires...) - à une chute retentissante ? Avec une clarté de propos remarquable et une attention constante aux mécanismes économiques les plus concrets, il aborde le phénomène de la bulle spéculative, la vague des déréglementations aux Etats-Unis - en particulier dans le domaine des télécommunications - et leurs conséquences, ou encore les scandales comptables, à commencer par le premier et le plus retentissant : le cas Enron. A l?occasion de cette plongée au coeur des centres de décision de la plus grande économie de marché du monde, l?auteur procède à la démolition des divers mythes qui étaient au fondement des politiques économiques des Etats-Unis, mais aussi de nombreux autres pays occidentaux, dans les années 1990 : la réduction du déficit ne relance pas l?économie ; l?impact des guerres sur cette dernière est négatif ; il n?y a pas de « héros » économiques (c?est la politique qui compte et non les hommes) ; la « main invisible » d?Adam Smith est invisible pour la bonne raison qu?elle n?existe pas ; la finance n?est pas la source de toute sagesse ; l?Etat n?est pas systématiquement mauvais... Enfin, fort de ses observations, Stiglitz esquisse les grandes lignes d?un « idéalisme démocratique », vision d?avenir fondée sur un juste équilibre entre le marché et l?Etat, et sur des valeurs telles que la justice sociale (égalité des chances, priorité à l?emploi) ou encore le droit du citoyen à l?information. Joseph Stiglitz a publié en 2001 aux éditions Fayard La Grande Désillusion. Traduit de l?anglais (américain) par Paul Chemla.
