  • Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy is a book on the causes and consequences of the Great Recession by economist and Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz, first published in 2010 by W. W. Norton & Company. While focusing on the roots of the financial crisis of 2007–2008 and the subsequent global economic slowdown, which he claims to find mainly in fiscal policy as conducted during the Bush presidency and decisions made by the Federal Reserve, Stiglitz also talks about the failure to cope with the recession during the months succeeding the Wall Street Crash of 2008. Finally, he sketches various schemes as to the possible future of the American economy, vigorously proposing a profound policy shift. In compliance with Stiglitz's general attitude towards economic policy, Freefall contains "proposals to tame the banking sector and to foster a more humanistic style of capitalism in the United States and abroad." According to an assessment written by Larry Elliott for The Guardian, the book "reeks of 'I told you so'." because during the years preceding the crisis, Stiglitz had "warned policy makers repeatedly that the United States was headed toward a deep, painful recession if pre-emptive interventions were not made."

  • O Mundo em Queda Livre (em inglês: Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy, no original) é um livro sobre as causas e as consequências da Grande Recessão do economista e Prémio Nobel Joseph Stiglitz, publicado pela primeira vez em 2010. Ainda que incidindo sobre as raízes da crise financeira de 2007–08 e o subsequente abrandamento económico global, que segundo ele se encontram principalmente na política fiscal conduzida durante a Presidência de George W. Bush e nas decisões tomadas pela Federal Reserve, Stiglitz também trata da incapacidade para lidar com a recessão nos meses posteriores à queda de Wall Street de 2008. Finalmente, esboça vários cenários quanto ao possível futuro da economia dos EUA, propondo vigorosamente uma política de profunda mudança. Em conformidade com posição geral de Stiglitz para com a política económica, O Mundo em Queda Livre contém "propostas para domar o sector bancário e fomentar um estilo mais humanista de capitalismo nos EUA e no exterior." De acordo com uma avaliação no The Guardian, o livro "propaga a ideia de Eu avisei", porque, nos anos que antecederam a crise, Stiglitz "avisara repetidamente que os EUA estavam a caminhar para uma recessão profunda e dolorosa se não fossem realizadas intervenções preventivas."
