Summary
International financier Soros addresses the controversy of whether globalization creates inequities that favor the haves over the have-nots. He comes out in favor of global economies and recognizes their many benefits, but he severely criticizes the record of international institutions such as the IMF and the World bank. Soros proposes changes in leadership and in goals that would redirect energies toward social justice.

Media Reviews
"George Soros has written a brilliant, powerful book, ON GLOBALIZATION, which goes beyond just describing the failures of the current international arrangements. He proposes concrete, practical reforms....But what makes this book so impressive is that he combines these insights with a humanity that comes through in every subject he touches on." -- Joseph E. Stiglitz
-- New York Review of Books

Globalization and Its Discontents
by Joseph E. Stiglitz
This powerful, unsettling book gives us a rare glimpse behind the closed doors of global financial institutions, by the winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics. This insider's account of global economic policy making will be hailed as much for its courage and honesty as its depth and insight. Renowned economist and Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz spent seven years in Washington, serving as chairman of Clinton's Council of Economic Advisers and as chief economist for the World Bank. Particularly concerned with the plight of the developing nations, he became increasingly disillusioned as he saw the International Monetary Fund and other major institutions put the interests of Wall Street and the financial community ahead of the poorer nations. Stiglitz had a ringside seat for most of the major economic events of the last decade, including the Asian economic crisis and the transition of the former Soviet economies, as well as the administration of development programs throughout the world. Repeatedly, he saw policy makers wedded to outdated economic models and using "Washington consensus" doctrines based on them to design policies that had disastrously bad results. He also discovered within the major institutions of globalization a damaging desire for secrecy that exacerbates the mistakes at the same time as it inhibits positive change. This book recounts Stiglitz's experiences, opening a window on previously unseen aspects of global economic policy. It is designed to provoke a healthy debate and will succeed in this goal even as it shows us in poignant terms why developing nations feel the economic deck is stacked against them.
