Joseph E Stiglitz: The Road To Freedom image
Synopsis:

Winner of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and chief economist of the World Bank, Joseph E Stiglitz this year publishes The Road to Freedom, which takes on the concepts of neoliberalism and free market economics by questioning their effect upon our economic opportunities and legal and social freedoms. His groundbreaking and very necessary book reimagines the link between democracy, economics, and what constitutes a good society. Hear him today in conversation with Andrew Wilson.
