They have made America the most unequal advanced industrial country, distorted key policy debates, and fomented a divided society. In The Price of Inequality, Nobel Prize-winning economist and best selling author Joseph E. Stiglitz exposes the effect of inequality on our democracy and on our system of justice while examining how monetary policy, budgetary policy, and globalization have contributed to its growth. With characteristic insight, he diagnoses our weakened state while offering a vision for a more just and prosperous future. |
