Why is our economic system failing most Americans—and what price are we paying for it as a society? In The Price of Inequality, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz explains that, while those at the top enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that “their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live.”
Stiglitz shows how moneyed interests have made America the most unequal advanced industrial country. The result is a divided society that cannot tackle its most pressing problems. But America’s growing inequality is not inevitable. With characteristic insight, Stiglitz examines our current state—and concludes with a plan that will create a more just and prosperous future.
