Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
People, Power, and Profits
Joseph E. Stiglitz · 2020
76/100
👍 Worth It
Stiglitz brings genuine Nobel-level credibility and clear prose to a diagnosis of American inequality that most general readers can follow. The policy proposals are specific and serious, even if they read as a left-leaning wish list that critics from other schools find incomplete. Worth your time if you want a rigorous, opinionated primer on how markets get captured — just know going in that this is advocacy as much as analysis.
