Description
The hardback version was a Sunday Times top ten best-seller for three weeks.
In this hugely controversial book, the most recent winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics argues that, though globalization should be a powerful force for good, it has been badly mishandled by the West (especially its lead institutions, the World Bank and the IMF). He suggests that the anti-globalizing protestors have much to say that we should listen to.
Coming from a figure of Stiglitz's background and authority, this is an explosive message which will change the way we regard modern global politics.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited by Joseph E. Stiglitz provides a critical examination of globalisation's impact, highlighting its benefits and pitfalls, particularly in developing countries. Reviewers praise Stiglitz's thorough analysis and rational arguments while noting it's a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding complex economic issues. The book's insightful critique of international financial institutions and policies garners appreciation, although some find it dense with economic jargon. It's regarded as enlightening and thought-provoking, offering a comprehensive perspective on globalisation's diverse effects.

The Road to Freedom
Despite its manifest failures, the narrative of neoliberalism retains its grip on the public mind and the policies of governments all over the world. By this narrative, less regulation and more 'animal spirits' capitalism produce not only greater prosperity, but more freedom for individuals in society—and is therefore morally better.
