Globalization and Its Discontents (book) by Joseph Stiglitz

"Globalization and Its Discontents" by Joseph Stiglitz examines how the spread of global economic integration has often favored wealthy nations and multinational corporations, sometimes at the expense of developing countries and ordinary people. Stiglitz critiques major international institutions like the IMF and World Bank, arguing they promote policies that can undermine economic stability and social welfare. The book advocates for more equitable and transparent global economic policies that support sustainable growth, reduce inequality, and empower developing nations to participate more fairly in the global economy.
