Summary

El premio Nobel Joseph Stiglitz le da una nueva vida a su libro más importante.

El malestar en la globalización fue un éxito de ventas y provocó una gran polémica al denunciar la mala gestión de la globalización, causante de desajustes políticos y una desigualdad desenfrenada. El libro se convirtió en la piedra angular del debate sobre el tema al demostrar cómo el Fondo Monetario Internacional e instituciones como el Banco Mundial, así como los acuerdos comerciales globales, más que ayudar, perjudican a las naciones en desarrollo.

En esta importante ampliación y actualización de su exitoso best seller, Stiglitz aborda los nuevos malestares generados por la globalización. Desde la primera publicación las consecuencias de este fenómeno se han agudizado, rebasando el terreno de los países en desarrollo y dejando a su paso un rastro de ciudadanos descontentos en todo el mundo. Los mensajes poderosos y proféticos de Stiglitz están hoy más vigentes que nunca.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An International Bestseller

"Accessible, provocative, and highly readable." ―Alan Cowell, New York Times


In this crucial expansion and update of his landmark bestseller, renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz addresses globalization’s new discontents in the United States and Europe. Immediately upon publication, Globalization and Its Discontents became a touchstone in the globalization debate by demonstrating how the International Monetary Fund, other major institutions like the World Bank, and global trade agreements have often harmed the developing nations they are supposedly helping. Yet globalization today continues to be mismanaged, and now the harms―exemplified by the rampant inequality to which it has contributed―have come home to roost in the United States and the rest of the developed world as well, reflected in growing political unrest.

With a new introduction, major new chapters on the new discontents, the rise of Donald Trump, and the new protectionist movement, as well as a new afterword on the course of globalization since the book first appeared, Stiglitz’s powerful and prescient messages remain essential reading.
