| Stiglitz Says Wrong Lessons Learned From Lehman |
| Article Link: Pop Ed Remarks by Joseph E. Stiglitz, September 9th, 2009 |
| Sept 15th has taken on a lot of symbolic value, marking the end of some of the basic ideas of market fundamentalism. But it is important to realize that the US has been in recession since the end of 2007 and the Lehman Brothers was a consequence of that, not the cause. |

| Economic solutions need to be open and inclusive |
| Opinion: The Nation Opinion piece by Joseph E Stiglitz, August 14, 2009 |
While discussions about economic "green shoots" continue unabated in the US, in many countries, and especially in the developing world, matters are getting worse. In the developing world, it is the opposite: a decline in exports, reduced remittances, lower foreign direct investment, and precipitous falls in capital flows have led to economic weakening.

| Making Globalization Work |
| New Book: Joseph E. Stiglitz |
Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz's new book, Making Globalization Work, draws equally from his academic expertise and his time spent on the ground in dozens of countries around the world. In clear language and compelling anecdotes, Stiglitz focuses on policies that truly work, offering fresh new thinking about the questions that shape the globalization debate, including a plan to restructure a global financial system made unstable by America's debt, ideas for how countries can grow without degrading the environment, a framework for free and fair global trade, and much more. Throughout, Stiglitz reveals that economic globalization continues to outpace both the political structures and the moral sensitivity required to ensure a just and sustainable world.
