People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent

Joseph E. Stiglitz

The American people, however, are far from powerless, and Joseph Stiglitz provides an alternative path forward through his vision of progressive capitalism, with a comprehensive set of political and economic changes.

Praise for this book

[Joseph Stiglitz] is an insanely great economist.--Paul Krugman
The policy shop of every 2020 Democratic candidate for president would be wise to pore over People, Power, and Profits and cherry-pick its best ideas.-- "New York Times"
Stiglitz offers a comprehensive list of easy-to-understand progressive remedies that will find favor with many readers.-- "Library Journal"
Along with Krugman and Thomas Piketty, Stiglitz forms a triumvirate of leading economic critics of global capitalism, 21st century-style.--Andrew Anthony "Guardian"
