In 'The Great Divide', Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel Prize winner in Economics, analyzes the growing economic inequality and its consequences. The author argues that this inequality is not an unavoidable economic law, but the result of specific policies and strategies. Stiglitz examines how the gap between the rich and the rest of society threatens prosperity and economic stability, offering a comparative analysis of inequality management in different countries, including Spain, and proposes reforms to stimulate growth, increase opportunities, and promote greater equality.
