    Review quote

[...] It is a must for those interested in development policy-making processes and graduate students of development economics.' --S. N. Kulkarni, in 'Development and Change' book reviews
    Main description
    The most influential and controversial speeches of Joseph Stiglitz are gathered together for the first time in this volume, with an enlightening commentary by Ha-Joon Chang.
    Back cover copy
    'A powerful collection of key speeches from one of the most controversial economists of our time...the most provocative book on international financial policy to appear for a long time.' Jeff Madrick, Challenge Magazine, contributing columnist, New York Times No one has challenged the policies of the international financial community as profoundly as Joseph Stiglitz, the former Chief Economist of the World Bank. In controversial speeches made around the world, Stiglitz has undone the conventional wisdom that dominated policy-making at the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the US Treasury Department. For the first time, Stiglitz's nine most revealing speeches have been gathered together, covering such topics as the failure of shock therapy and transition economics, the limits of capital market liberalization, the myopia of the Washington consensus, the role of knowledge in markets, the process of developing market institutions and the primacy of openness and worker participation. Along with Dr Ha-Joon Chang's insightful commentary, they form the most powerful representation of Stiglitz's thinking to be found anywhere.
