Reviews

Along with Krugman and Thomas Piketty, Stiglitz forms a triumvirate of leading economic critics of global capitalism, 21st century-style.--Andrew Anthony "Guardian"
Stiglitz offers a comprehensive list of easy-to-understand progressive remedies that will find favor with many readers.-- "Library Journal"
The policy shop of every 2020 Democratic candidate for president would be wise to pore over People, Power, and Profits and cherry-pick its best ideas.-- "New York Times"
[Joseph Stiglitz] is an insanely great economist.--Paul Krugman
