Book C  mo hacer que funcione la globalizaci  n

Download or read book C mo hacer que funcione la globalizaci n written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by TAURUS. This book was released on 2010-12-10 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un libro provocador y perspicaz que promete dar un nuevo impulso al debate sobre cómo reparar la economía global, por el Premio Nobel de Economía Joseph E. Stiglitz, una de las mentes más incisivas de nuestro tiempo. Con Cómo hacer que funcione la globalización, el premio Nobel de Economía Joseph E. Stiglitz retoma los temas que exploró en su anterior éxito de ventas El malestar en la globalización con el objetivo de alabar los logros de la reforma del orden económico mundial, identificar los retos pendientes y presentar su visión del futuro. A partir de su experiencia académica, de un interés profundo y duradero por las naciones en desarrollo y del tiempo dedicado a trabajar sobre el terreno en docenas de países de todo el mundo, Stiglitz nos informa y ofrece soluciones a las cuestiones más urgentes de la actual controversia sobre la globalización. Con especial atención a las políticas que se han demostrado eficaces, Stiglitz presenta una nueva línea de pensamiento sobre el alivio de la deuda, la deslocalización, las multinacionales, la planificación de los recursos naturales y el desarrollo sostenible. Hasta ahora, la economía había dirigido la globalización, sobre todo mediante la reducción de los costes de transporte y comunicación. Pero la política le había dado la forma. Las reglas del juego las fijaron, en gran parte, los países industrializados y no sorprende que modelaran la globalización en aras de sus propios intereses. En estos momentos, el debate ha pasado del reconocimiento general de que no todo va bien con la globalización y de que hay una base real para el malestar, a un análisis más profundo que relaciona políticas específicas con errores concretos. Los expertos y los políticos coinciden en las áreas en las que deben producirse cambios y en este libro Stiglitz se ocupa de la cuestión más espinosa: ¿cómo hacemos que funcione la globalización? ¿Qué cambios serían necesarios para que la globalización cumpliera con sus expectativas o, al menos, se acercara a ellas? Reseñas: «Un manual sobre los problemas de la economía global bien escrito y mejor informado. Stiglitz ayuda a sus lectores a comprender exactamente qué es lo que está en juego.» Jeffry Frieden, New York Times Book Review «Una sagaz denuncia de las cosas tal y como son, así como una guía sobre cómo podemos mejorarlas.» Andrew Leonard, Salon

Carefully selected contributions from both established and upcoming scholars ensure that this is an eclectic, pluralist and multidisciplinary work and an essential resource for all those with an interest in this complex and rapidly evolving field of study.

Book The Three Trillion Dollar War  The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict

Download or read book The Three Trillion Dollar War The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict written by Linda J. Bilmes and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2008-02-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true cost of the Iraq War is $3 trillion—and counting—rather than the $50 billion projected by the White House. Apart from its tragic human toll, the Iraq War will be staggeringly expensive in financial terms. This sobering study by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes casts a spotlight on expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veterans—for the rest of their lives. Shifting to a global focus, the authors investigate the cost in lives and economic damage within Iraq and the region. Finally, with the chilling precision of an actuary, the authors measure what the U.S. taxpayer's money would have produced if instead it had been invested in the further growth of the U.S. economy. Written in language as simple as the details are disturbing, this book will forever change the way we think about the war.

Book Fair Trade for All  How Trade Can Promote Development

Download or read book Fair Trade for All How Trade Can Promote Development written by Joseph E. Stiglitz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-08-01 with total page 647 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics and author of the New York Times bestselling book Globalization and Its Discontents, Joseph E. Stiglitz here joins with fellow economist Andrew Charlton to offer a challenging and controversial argument about how globalization can actually help Third World countries to develop and prosper. In Fair Trade For All, Stiglitz and Charlton address one of the key issues facing world leaders today--how can the poorer countries of the world be helped to help themselves through freer, fairer trade? To answer this question, the authors put forward a radical and realistic new model for managing trading relationships between the richest and the poorest countries. Their approach is designed to open up markets in the interests of all nations and not just the most powerful economies, to ensure that trade promotes development, and to minimize the costs of adjustments. The book illuminates the reforms and principles upon which a successful settlement must be based. Vividly written, highly topical, and packed with insightful analyses, Fair Trade For All offers a radical new solution to the problems of world trade. It is a must read for anyone interested in globalization and development in the Third World.
