Big Joe Stiglitz has written an informative and easy to read book about his thoughts on the crumbling economy. His views are very pertinent to the current climate in the post 2008 economic environment. He explains very clearly how he believes we have gotten ourselves into this mess we are in. The book is definitely skewed to the left of the political spectrum and one should keep in mind that Stiglitz is the “go to guy” in Democratic circles. The man has the intelligence and pedigree to and deserves to be listened to, but many in politics will find it hard to put his plans into play considering the center right politics in the US. If you want to read a straight forward easy to read book on economics then this is a good place to start.
