The Price of Inequality by Joseph E. Stiglitz

5.0

I heard Joseph Stiglitz was a progressive economist who criticizes capitalism, and I was sold. I bought a few of his books, and this one was the first I checked out, and it didn’t disappoint. Stiglitz does an amazing job breaking down how capitalism has had runaway inequality in the United States and how it’s affecting 99% of us as well as the world as a whole. I’ve read quite a few books like this, and this one is one of the best. Economists can write in a way that’s difficult to understand, but Stiglitz made this book accessible to anyone looking to learn more about why we need to reform our current systems to make this country a bit more equal.
