Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! 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.
