Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-26 00:00:00 Tony DiSanto fuck this "who would you recommend this book to?" shit. i want everyone to read everything that i've read so i dont have to hold their hand with basic shit everytime i open my mouth. this book illuminates a lot of the complicated systems of global economics and trade, as well as the politics surrounding them, in a very accessible and engaging style. im not saying everyone needs to make a pilgrimage to the world bank or something, but this shit affects all of us, whether you have money or not. do the knowledge.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-28 00:00:00 John Miera There are harder-hitting and ideologically better books out there on neoliberal globalization, though Stiglitz’s status as a respected international economist and former chief economist of the World Bank raises the hope that his body of work will bring critiques of neoliberalism to new audiences. While at times Stiglitz seems to be bending over backwards to save capitalism from itself, instead of proposing alternatives to it, he does suggest important reforms that could better the lives of billions of people around the globe. His chapters on patents and intellectual property are particularly useful in countering myths about the supposed wonders of free-market innovations. Again, though one could more properly posit that the existing economic model needs to be scrapped entirely, instead of “made to work,” it is hard to argue with Stiglitz’s plea that, “In the long run, the most important changes required to make globalization work are reforms to reduce the democratic deficit.”
