Nobel Prize Winner Joseph Stiglitz, Author of "The Price of Inequality"

Our current economic system has made America the most unequal advanced industrial country with crippled growth and undermined democracy. As the top 1% of Americans control 40% of the country’s wealth, Stiglitz makes a forceful argument against our divided society and vicious circle of inequality.

In an effort to bridge that growing gap, Stiglitz offers his plan for changing our current monetary and budgetary policies and create a more just and prosperous future.
