Globalization and Its Discontents is a book published in 2002 by the 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz. The title is a reference to Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents. The book draws on Stiglitz's personal experience as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Bill Clinton from 1993 and chief economist at the World Bank from 1997. During this period Stiglitz became disillusioned with the IMF and other international institutions, which he came to believe acted against the interests of impoverished developing countries. Stiglitz argues that the policies pursued by the IMF are based on neoliberal assumptions that are fundamentally unsound:

  • Globalization and Its Discontents is a book published in 2002 by the 2001 Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz. The title is a reference to Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents. The book draws on Stiglitz's personal experience as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under Bill Clinton from 1993 and chief economist at the World Bank from 1997. During this period Stiglitz became disillusioned with the IMF and other international institutions, which he came to believe acted against the interests of impoverished developing countries. Stiglitz argues that the policies pursued by the IMF are based on neoliberal assumptions that are fundamentally unsound: Behind the free market ideology there is a model, often attributed to Adam Smith, which argues that market forces—the profit motive—drive the economy to efficient outcomes as if by an invisible hand. One of the great achievements of modern economics is to show the sense in which, and the conditions under which, Smith's conclusion is correct. It turns out that these conditions are highly restrictive. Indeed, more recent advances in economic theory—ironically occurring precisely during the period of the most relentless pursuit of the Washington Consensus policies—have shown that whenever information is imperfect and markets incomplete, which is to say always, and especially in developing countries, then the invisible hand works most imperfectly. Significantly, there are desirable government interventions which, in principle, can improve upon the efficiency of the market. These restrictions on the conditions under which markets result in efficiency are important—many of the key activities of government can be understood as responses to the resulting market failures. Stiglitz argues that IMF policies contributed to bringing about the 1997 Asian financial crisis, as well as the Argentine economic crisis. Also noted was the failure of Russia's conversion to a market economy and low levels of development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Specific policies criticised by Stiglitz include fiscal austerity, high interest rates, trade liberalization, and the liberalization of capital markets and insistence on the privatization of state assets.

  • La Grande Désillusion est un livre écrit en 2002 par Joseph E. Stiglitz sous le titre original Globalization and Its Discontents. Stiglitz affirme dans cet ouvrage que le FMI fait passer l’intérêt de son « principal actionnaire », les États-Unis, avant ceux des nations les moins favorisées qu’il a pourtant pour objectif de servir. En prenant comme exemples la crise asiatique et la transition russe, Stiglitz soutient que les politiques préconisées par le FMI ont souvent aggravé les problèmes dont il avait à s'occuper, entraînant des conséquences sociales dévastatrices et un accroissement de la pauvreté. Le titre français de ce livre a été choisi dans la volonté de le présenter comme une réponse ironique à l'ouvrage La Grande Illusion d'Alain Minc. (fr)

  • Globaliseringen och dess kritiker är en bok av Joseph E. Stiglitz, ekonomipristagare till Alfred Nobels minne 2001. I förordet beskriver Stiglitz hur han efter många år av forskning 1993 lämnade den akademiska världen för att tjänstgöra som ekonomisk rådgivare till president Bill Clinton. Från posten som rådgivare flyttade han 1997 över till Världsbanken där han tjänstgjorde som chefsekonom och vicepresident i tre år. Under dessa tre år blev han varse hur hårt globaliseringen kan slå mot utvecklingsländer, och särskilt mot de fattiga i dessa länder. Han tror att globalisering i form av undanröjande av handelshinder, integration av nationella ekonomier med mera, har potentialen att göra alla rikare. Men om detta skall vara möjligt menar han att hela globaliseringskonceptet, inklusive internationella , måste omvärderas. (sv)
