Globalization and Its Discontents - Joseph E. Stiglitz

Globalization and Its Discontents – Joseph E. Stiglitz 

In this expanded edition of his influential bestseller, Nobel Prize–winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz analyzes how globalization—when mismanaged—has generated deep economic and social inequities. Stiglitz examines the role of global institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, revealing how their policies have often disadvantaged developing nations instead of supporting sustainable growth.

Incorporating new chapters on rising protectionism, the political shifts in the United States and Europe, and the long-term consequences of inequality, Stiglitz provides a clear, evidence-based critique of global economic governance. His insights remain essential for understanding today’s economic tensions and the pathways to a more equitable global system. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
