About this ebook

“Urgent work, by the foremost champion of ‘progressive capitalism.’ ” —The New Yorker

An authoritative account of the dangers of unfettered markets and monied politics, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis. The American people, however, are far from powerless, and Joseph Stiglitz provides an alternative path forward through his vision of progressive capitalism, with a comprehensive set of political and economic changes.

Where is your engineering? my dear governments and economists. you're aware that not professionally facing your transparency is equivalent to corruption.
