How has America become the most unequal advanced country in the world, and what can we do about it?
In The Great Divide, Joseph E. Stiglitz expands on the diagnosis he offered in his best-selling book The Price of Inequality and suggests ways to counter America’s growing problem. With his signature blend of clarity and passion, Stiglitz argues that inequality is a choice - the cumulative result of unjust policies and misguided priorities.
Gathering his writings for popular outlets including Vanity Fair and The New York Times, Stiglitz exposes in full America’s inequality: its dimensions, its causes, and its consequences for the nation and for the world. From the Reagan era to the Great Recession and its long aftermath, Stiglitz delves into the irresponsible policies - deregulation, tax cuts, and tax breaks for the 1 percent - that are leaving many Americans further and further behind and turning the American dream into an ever more unachievable myth. With formidable yet accessible economic insight, he urges us to embrace real solutions: increasing taxes on corporations and the wealthy; offering more help to the children of the poor; investing in education, science, and infrastructure; helping out homeowners instead of banks; and, most importantly, doing more to restore the economy to full employment. Stiglitz also draws lessons from Scandinavia, Singapore, and Japan, and he argues against the tide of unnecessary, destructive austerity that is sweeping across Europe.
Ultimately, Stiglitz believes, our choice is not between growth and fairness; with the right policies, we can choose both. His complaint is not so much about capitalism as such but how 21st-century capitalism has been perverted. His is a call to confront America’s economic inequality as the political and moral issue that it is.

We know who Stiglitz; thank you. Another so-called economist driving pseudo-economic notions and deluding the moneyless … utter nonsense.

Actually, any inequality can be overcome by hard work and determination. There is no such thing as “fair”. People who scream how unfair everything is are lazy people unwilling to put in the hard work necessary to be a success.

Are the above acceptable comments? There are a thousand books on here one could criticise on subject matter but I’ve been led to believe - by having some of my refutations of others’s comments disallowed - that uploads should be judged on quality of sound, not content. Are we going to get equal treatment for commenters here, or are only those that fit the politics of the mods to be allowed?

“and What We Can Do About Them”. Simple. Tax the rich, redistribute to the poor. Inequality solved.

Another Keynesian that will drive your country’s economy to the ground if you listen to him…
