Joseph stiglitz''s book details his various discontents

Reference no: EM13718496

Joseph Stiglitz's book details his various "discontents" with the way the globalization process has been aided and abetted by international organizations dedicated to the economic transformation of the world economy, such as the World Bank and the IMF. Yet, it is doubtful that Stiglitz, at least when he wrote his book, could be characterized as an opponent of globalization itself. This may differentiate his criticisms from those provided by Peet and Hartwick, Escobar, Bergeron, Chang, Grabel and Chang, and Amin. In a focused essay, please present your take on Stiglitz's critique of globalization and compare his criticisms with those that may be more "radical." Specifically, what are the global arrangements that Stiglitz supports that may be the object of others' criticisms? Why might it be said that Stiglitz's suggestions for improvement in World Bank and IMF policies and procedures are mild compared to those being advanced by "anti-globalization critics?" In your answer, you MUST look at Stiglitz's views and compare and contrast them with those of Peet and Hartwick, Escobar, Bergeron, Chang, Grabel and Chang, and Amin.

Your answer should be about 3-4 pages typewritten.
