"Five stars for the idea, depth of research, and insightfulness. Three stars for the writing, which dragged on and repeated itself a lot as these books have a tendency to do. I got the feeling that this was Charlton's thesis and that Stiglitz really liked it and basically agreed to sign on to what Charlton wrote.
The principal idea, in a nutshell, is that all nations should agree to open their borders to every nation that is both smaller and poorer than itself. This is a very appealing idea to me, since I believe that equitable trade policies are the best way in which the West can promote development. I also intend to read Making Globalization Work, which I imagine will be a more developed, broader, and easier to comprehend version of this book."
"I like Stiglitz. The first book that I read from him is Globalization and its discontents and I felt in love with the book. This new book gives a good perspective about the WTO and how it works. It also propose several ideas to resolve the conflicts betwen developing countries and developed countries. And here it comes a great BUT to this book.... Stiglitz is quite a dreamer and despite the fact that his ideas are good some of them sounds just like nice dreams almost impossible to put in practice, if he moves a little bit back I am sure that he will still able to give Free Trade for All."
"This book is quite specific about how WTO trade deals should be designed in order to help the developing world. Really interesting, but I don't see how any of his ideas would really be politically palatable in the U.S., especially in today's anti-trade environment."
