getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in less than 10 minutes.
Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz believes financial inequality undermines the US economy. A former adviser to President Bill Clinton and a critic of President George W. Bush, Stiglitz makes no claim to ideological impartiality. He helped coin the terms "the 1%" and "the 99%" to describe the gap between the ultra wealthy and everyone else. This collection features his writings from Vanity Fair, The New York Times, Politico and other media outlets. As a result, you may find some parts repetitive, but Stiglitz's sage insights stand out. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends his text to investors, CEOs, policy makers, students of business and politics, and all those concerned about the yawning economic gaps in modern society.
