Video: “It’s Time To Get Radical On Inequality” by Joseph Stiglitz

EAPN Europe Staff — Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:11:33 +0000

11/12/2015 - Nobel laureate Stiglitz, author of The Price of Inequality and The Great Divide, studies the forces driving inequality and what is at stake if it continues. In his view, bad economic thinking deserves part of the blame — fanciful ideas like trickle-down and the notion that economists should try to increase the size of the economic pie and let the politicians worry about distribution. On the contrary, Stiglitz sees distribution as a problem economists must confront. He warns that an economic system that doesn’t raise standards of living for most Americans is a failure.
