“Free Fall: The Free Market and the Collapse of the World Economy” by Joseph E. Stiglitz
“The so-called Great Recession has affected more people than any other crisis since the Great Depression. In the United States, poor public policies and a general lack of scruples have contributed to the current financial disaster, whose contagion to the rest of the planet has been devastating. Who better than Joseph Stiglitz to diagnose such a complex situation in such an accessible way. His considerations about the new role that governments and markets must assume, the urgent need for regulation and the different way in which globalization should be managed have special weight in the battle of ideas that will shape the "new world" destined to emerge of this crisis.”
