Four years after he outlined the challenges our increasingly
interdependent world was facing in Globalization and Its Discontents,
Joseph E. Stiglitz offered his agenda for reform. Now in paperback,
Making Globalization Work offers inventive solutions to a host of
problems, including the indebtedness of developing countries,
international fiscal instability, and worldwide pollution. Stiglitz also
argues for the reform of global financial institutions, trade
agreements, and intellectual property laws, to make them better able to
respond to the growing disparity between the richest and poorest
countries. Now more than ever before, globalization has gathered the
peoples of the world into one community, bringing with it a need to
think and act globally. This trenchant, intellectually powerful book is
an invaluable step in that process. This paperback edition contains a
brand-new preface.
