In his new book Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz explains how a few American corporations have come to dominate entire sectors of the economy, contributing to skyrocketing inequality and slow growth. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy. An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, this book shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.
