BOOKS BY JOSEPH STIGLITZ

Stiglitz served as chief economist and senior vice president of the World Bank. His book clearly explains the functions and powers of the main institutions that govern globalization--the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the World Trade Organization--along with the ramifications, both good and bad, of their policies. (Shawn Carkonen, Amazon)

The Nobel Prize-winning economist suggests a host of solutions by which globalization can be "saved from its advocates" and made safe and worthwhile for the poor and rich alike.

Stiglitz and Charlton offer a radical new solution to the problems of world trade.

BOOKS BY AMARTYA SEN

This book focuses on the causes of starvation in general and famines in particular. The traditional analysis of famines is shown to be fundamentally defective, and the author develops an alternative analysis.
