About the Author
Joseph E. Stiglitz is a Nobel Prize-winning economist and the best-selling author of People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent; Globalization and Its Discontents Revisited: Anti-Globalization in the Age of Trump; The Price of Inequality; and Freefall. He was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Clinton, chief economist of the World Bank, named by Time as one of the 100 most influential individuals in the world, and now teaches at Columbia University and is chief economist of the Roosevelt Institute.
Reviews
[Stiglitz] is surely right. Without a radical overhaul of its workings, the euro seems all but certain to fail.
Terrific and clarifying.--Peter Goodman
A cogent and urgent argument of compelling interest to economists and policymakers.
Much more than a demolition job. These chapters are full of constructive proposals - a glimpse of what the 'rescues' would have looked like had the troika, perish the thought, hired their critic Stiglitz to design them.--Marin Sandbu
Many of Mr. Stiglitz's most damning observations are on target.
The euro is a modern tragedy....As its embarrassments have mounted, its supporters club has teemed with political romantics and Europhile journalists. Stiglitz's message to such people is that they are inadvertently destroying what they most cherish.--Paul Collier
