Book Summary

Drawing from his experiences as the Chief Economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz argues that the policies promoted by these institutions often prioritize the interests of developed nations, leading to adverse effects on poorer countries. He criticizes the "Washington Consensus"—a set of economic policy prescriptions emphasizing free markets, fiscal austerity, and deregulation—as being overly simplistic and detrimental when applied universally.
