	The New York Review of Books: Globalization: Stiglitz's Case
		Stiglitz charges that the IMF has reverted to Herbert Hoover's economics in imposing these policies on countries during deep recessions, when the deficit is mostly the result of an induced decline in revenues; he argues that cuts in spending or tax hikes only make the downturn worse.
		Stiglitz also thinks it is no coincidence that food subsidies and other ways of cushioning the hardships suffered by the poor are among the first programs that the IMF tells countries to cut when they need to balance their budgets.
		Stiglitz has presented, as effectively as it is possible to imagine anyone making it, his side of the argument, including the substantive case for the kind of economic development policies he favors as well as his more specific indictment of what the IMF has done and why.

		Stiglitz notes that Stanley Fischer, the former deputy head of the IMF and former MIT professor of economics, went straight from the IMF to Citigroup.
		Stiglitz surely knows that Fischer is regarded as a man of unimpeachable integrity and yet he cannot resist the jibe at him.

	The globalizer who came in from the cold: Joseph Stiglitz
		But instead of chairing the meetings of ministers and central bankers, Stiglitz was kept outside the blue police cordons the same as the nuns carrying a large wooden cross, the Bolivian union leaders, the parents of AIDS victims, and the other "antiglobalization" protesters.
		Stiglitz is particularly emotional over the WTO's intellectual property rights treaty, which goes by the acronym "TRIPS." It is here, says the economist, that the new global order has "condemned people to death" by imposing impossible tariffs and tributes to pay to pharmaceutical companies for branded medicines.
		Stiglitz proposed radical land reform, an attack at the heart of "landlordism" on the usurious rents charged by the propertied oligarchies worldwide, typically 50 percent of a tenant's crops.

	Joseph Stiglitz -- A Dangerous Man, A World Bank Insider Who Defected
		Stiglitz came to Minnesota last week to speak at the annual Nobel Conference sponsored by Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter to coincide with the announcement of the Nobel prizes.
		Stiglitz takes the debate to a higher level -- not just because he dissects the orthodoxy with its own tools, but because he uses the anecdotes of an insider to confirm the suspicions of the outsiders.
		Stiglitz went home and had one of his World Bank researchers run a study; it turns out that foreign aid is actually a more stable revenue source than tax receipts for poor countries.

	Rebel With a Cause
		Stiglitz has not prepared a speech--half an hour earlier, as we were talking over lunch, he had completely forgotten the event was today--but that is the least of his worries.
		Stiglitz's outspokenness, unprecedented for a high-ranking insider, infuriated top officials at the IMF and US Treasury Department, and eventually led James Wolfensohn, the World Bank's president, to inform him that he would have to mute his criticism or resign.
		Such claims are no longer credible, for Stiglitz is part of a small but growing group of economists, sociologists and political scientists, among them Dani Rodrik of Harvard and Robert Wade of the London School of Economics, who not only take the critics seriously but warn that ignoring their concerns could have dire consequences.

		Joseph Stiglitz, Nobel laureate economist, is loved on the streets and loathed in the suites.
		Mr Stiglitz is absolutely right to blame the fund (and others) for their failure either to warn or protect countries adequately against these disasters.
		Similarly, while Mr Stiglitz's charge against so-called "shock therapy" is exaggerated, that against the tacit support given by the IMF and the World Bank for horrifyingly corrupt and incompetent privatisation in Russia and some other countries in transition is right.

		Stiglitz sees the 1990s as a brilliant economic success, but also a period in which faulty accounting, conflicts of interest, and botched deregulation schemes inflated a bubble that, when it burst, gave rise to the 2001 recession.
		Joseph Stiglitz's "The Roaring Nineties: A New History of the World's Most Prosperous Decade" is a thoughtful and compelling examination of the greed and corruption that ensues when markets are allowed to "regulate" themselves.
		Stiglitz's, a neo-Keynesian economist, argues that the "roaring nineties" was the consequence of the forced retreat of the state from any direct involvement in the market.

	The Phoenix Online - Economist rails against Bush economic policy in speech
		Joseph Stiglitz, winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics, had a message for President George W. Bush: The much-heralded tax cuts did not work.
		On Monday, Stiglitz addressed a packed crowd in the Science Center lecture hall, preaching largely to the converted on “Economics and the Election.” For over an hour, Stiglitz railed on the Bush administration’s plans for economic recovery, saving his most acrimonious critique for Alan Greenspan, the chairman of the Federal Reserve.
		Furthermore, Stiglitz noted that the United States was contributing to “enormous global financial instability” by borrowing nearly $1.5 billion a day from various global markets.

		At each step of his career, Stiglitz advocated for a critical look at what he calls "the Washington Consensus" -- the conventional wisdom that holds that everything bad in the economy can be laid at the government's door while everything good stems from the market.
		The villains, Stiglitz argues, are obvious: The International Monetary Fund, Clinton Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers and Wall Street all come off badly, more concerned with ideology and their own bottom lines than with the facts.
		Salon sat down with Stiglitz in New York and discussed accounting trickery, why government is necessary and the present state of the world economy.
