People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent
Description
“Urgent work, by the foremost champion of ‘progressive capitalism.’ ” —The New Yorker
An authoritative account of the dangers of unfettered markets and monied politics, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis. The American people, however, are far from powerless, and Joseph Stiglitz provides an alternative path forward through his vision of progressive capitalism, with a comprehensive set of political and economic changes.
