This time, what a disappointment! As stated in a previous review, this book is written with the ink of anger. But this blind anger and disqualifies him about Joseph. We are dealing with a militant work, dependents, without discernment which we had used the great University.
One has the impression of a book written quickly in rabies. The style is heavy, confused. Lots of back and forth in the statements. Hard to read. Furthermore, the conclusions are not always substantiated.
Stilglitz poses a fundamental question, namely the respective roles of the market and the state. No offense to "Inrockuptibles", he argues for a balanced distribution of roles, and therefore not at all in agreement with Mélenchon.
Where it fails is in his analysis of the Great Recession, as it mixes a conspiracy, corruption in its various forms and excesses of liberalism. If liberalism has its shortcomings, it is no more of a generator economy "cryonism" Communism, for example. Moreover, Stilglitz if he regrets that US citizens are barred from voting, made the bed of those who think that not everyone deserve the right to vote, since the "framing" media manipulates the least informed minds (and therefore the poorest).
Important Note: the theses of this book are for the US and are absolutely not transferable to France, where the tax system, instead of the state, "Framing" media (left in France, according to right Stilglitz in the US) are quite different.
