內容簡介

無論贊不贊同，全球化已是現代人必須關心的議題。

二○○一年諾貝爾經濟學獎得主，曾於美國政府及世界銀行擔任要職的Stiglitz，以專業經驗分析了全球化三大支點：WTO、IMF以及世界銀行三者的機能，他相信全球化的方向仍然正確，但上述三機構的政策偏差顯然需要檢討，而發展中國家來自政府機關的判斷與輔助也至為重要，全書清楚，客觀，是理解全球化的重要書籍。

Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz’s landmark book, now with a new foreword.

When it was first published, Globalization and Its Discontents quickly became a bestseller and a touchstone in the globalization debate. Renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz argued that the International Monetary Fund and other major institutions put the interests of Wall Street and other corporate interests ahead of the developing nations they were supposedly helping, leading to political unrest and rampant inequality. Since then, globalization has continued to be mismanaged and has left a trail of disaffected citizens in its wake. Discontent with globalization is no longer a problem just for developing nations, as made clear by Donald Trump’s election to the presidency. Stiglitz’s powerful and prescient messages remain essential reading.

“Accessible, provocative, and highly readable.”—New York Times

“This book is everyone’s guide to the misgovernment of globalization. Stiglitz explains it here in plain and compelling language.” —James K. Galbraith, University of Texas at Austin
