The price of inequality

The Price of Inequality: How Today's Divided Society Endangers Our Future is Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph E. Stiglitz's argument that rising income inequality in the United States is neither natural nor inevitable, but the product of policy choices that let wealthy interests capture an ever-larger share of the economy at the expense of dynamic, competitive capitalism. Stiglitz traces how this divide corrodes not just the economy but democracy and the justice system, and lays out a concrete program for reversing it.
