The Great Divide: Unequal Societies and What We Can Do About Them | |
In the face of rising inequality in America, Joseph E. Stiglitz charts a path toward real recovery and a more equal society.
A singular voice of reason in an era defined by bitter politics and economic uncertainty, Joseph E. Stiglitz has time and again diagnosed America’s greatest economic challenges, from the Great Recession and its feeble recovery to the yawning gap between the rich and the poor. The Great Divide gathers his most provocative reflections to date on the subject of inequality. As Stiglitz ably argues, a healthy economy and a fairer democracy are within our grasp if we can put aside misguided interests and ideologies and abandon failed policies. Opening with the essay that gave the Occupy Movement its slogan, “We are the 99%,” later essays in The Great Divide reveal equality of opportunity as a national myth, show that today’s outsized inequality is a matter of choice, and explain reforms that would spur higher growth, more opportunity, and greater equality. 媒体推荐“[Joseph Stiglitz] is an insanely great economist.” (Paul Krugman - New York Times)

This is a thoughtful, readable book that articulated thoughts I've had but not really expressed.
As a 3-percenter I've benefited from a graduate level public education as the first and only male in my family to graduate from collage.
I work at a national lab where we truly do invent the future, and watch the struggle for funding to do so.
Sure I'd like lower taxes, but I'd rather see education, infrastructure and R&D well funded.
This book is about choosing to increase demand by crafting rules to circulate money.
It has helped a smart but macro-economically bias and naive guy (me) better understand the real world around me and give me an idea as to what I may be able to do to help improve it. It's a good book for those who wish to learn about the economic and social influencing forces around them.
