Joseph Stiglitz

Winner, 2001 Nobel Prize Winner for Economics; Author, Freefall

In conversation with Andrew Leonard, Senior Technology and Business Writer, Salon

Stiglitz argues that America exported bad economics, bad policies and bad behavior to the rest of the world. Stiglitz outlines a way forward building on ideas that he has championed his entire career: restoring the balance between markets and government; addressing the inequalities of the global financial system; and demanding more good ideas (and less ideology) from economists.

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on February 22, 2010.
