In 'Freefall', Joseph Stiglitz analyzes how deficient public policies and a lack of scruples in the United States triggered the Great Recession, affecting people around the world. Stiglitz offers alternatives for a prosperous economy and a moral society, giving voice to those who were harmed by the actions of Wall Street and the ineffectiveness of governments. The author examines the role of governments and markets, the need for regulation, and the management of globalization to build a new world after the crisis.
