Customer Review: Read it. It did taught me a lot about economic premises discussed in class. Prof Stiglitz is great. The book addresses topics I was supposed to hear in other business courses but this book really nailed it
Customer Review: He predicted our 2008 market problems in 2003, and if his solutions were further along, a more morale system, would not have failed us so badly. It is time for this book, to become one of our bibles, for laying out plans to execute, to make it happen.
