Produktbeschreibung
Since Joseph Stiglitz made the argument in The Price of Inequality that reducing income disparities and increasing social mobility is not just fairer, but is the only way to make markets work as they really should, inequality has come to be recognised as the central economic issue of the day. Now, in essays written for the New York Times and elsewhere, Stiglitz takes his thinking further, tracking inequality and its effects in the worlds of economics, politics, society and culture. From the 1% to student debt and Detroit's spectacular bankruptcy, from his unexpected critique of intellectual property to an account of how Dr King influenced his economic work, this is a thought-provoking collection of essays from one the most influential voices in contemporary economics.
