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

El malestar en la globalizacion fue un exito de ventas y provoco una gran polemica al denunciar la mala gestion de la globalizacion, causante de desajustes politicos y una desigualdad desenfrenada. El libro se convirtio en la piedra angular del debate sobre el tema al demostrar como el Fondo Monetario Internacional e instituciones como el Banco Mundial, asi como los acuerdos comerciales globales, mas que ayudar, perjudican a las naciones en desarrollo.En esta importante ampliacion y actualizacion de su exitoso best seller, Stiglitz aborda los nuevos malestares generados por la globalizacion. Desde la primera publicacion las consecuencias de este fenomeno se han agudizado, rebasando el terreno de los paises en desarrollo y dejando a su paso un rastro de ciudadanos descontentos en todo el mundo. Los mensajes poderosos y profeticos de Stiglitz estan hoy mas 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.
