Joseph Stiglitz

The world's financial markets will rebound, but how do we ensure that the same mistakes aren't made twice? Joseph Stiglitz explores the future of the world economy.

Joseph Stiglitz offers an in-depth analysis of today's economic climate without the patina of political or business motivation, often sacrificing popularity for principle. This internationally renowned economist provides audiences with historical context and real-time information that sheds light on the recent financial crisis-how it happened, and the path ahead. His insights are crucial for audiences that require a deeper understanding of the post-crisis business landscape. Stiglitz' reputation precedes him as an engaging straight-talker. He does not shy from complicated or difficult discussions about the current political and business environments and specifically on financial policy and government regulation. He is author of several books including Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy (January 2010). Stiglitz regularly appears on CNN, CNBC and FOX News. Additionally, he is a syndicated columnist and his op-eds and articles have appeared in The Financial Times, Vanity Fair and Newsweek, among others. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for his role in creating a new branch of economics called "The Economics of Information." His work explains the circumstances in which markets do not work well, and how selective government intervention can improve their performance.
