"For anyone who has read any of Stiglitz's work before it would come as no surprise that it can be at times trying and difficult to comprehend especially if one doesn't have a background in economics. However Making Globalization Work is very accessible and informative to anyone that comes across it, no matter what your educational background or choice of interesting readings may be. This book provides insights to issues on such things as the economies of the world, environmentalism, and the role government plays in such and other matters. This book is very impartial for the most part towards one country or another and rather than focusing from a individualistic point of view, Stiglitz tries to provide us with a global framework of the issues facing us in today's world. Readers may or may not agree with the solutions he provides us with but whether you decide to go on one side of the fence from his proposals or the other, you will find yourself with plenty of food for thought."
"It's pretty good. After 3 years of what has been a pretty one-sided indoctrination in orthodox neoclassical economics, it's important, and enlightening to get a more realistic perspective. He gets to be a bit too bleeding-heart at some points, and many of his arguments and evidence are clearly a little one-sided (in some ways downright manipulative), but given that he is trying to combat an equally one-sided view of globalization, I guess he can be forgiven for this.
All in all some very interesting solutions to making globalization work, and a sobering look at the darker side of global trade."
"Wide-ranging discussion of the various ways that the decks are stacked against the developing world. Stiglitz suggests various ways to improve the situation. I think his strongest points are around closing the democratic deficit with institutions like the World Bank and the IMF. The weakest involve creating new courts and organizations - it seems that this would decrease transparency and create more opportunities to game the system. His argument boils down to saying that the developed world should more actively work to help the developing world and this is a question of political will not adding more committees. I learned a lot from this book - especially about the Dutch disease (natural resource exploitation damaging other exports) and the international reserve system."
"While I did not read this entire book, I just skimmed through for what I needed for my report, it was not completely awful. Some parts were boring, but other parts were actually fairly interesting as it has to do with real world issues that I didn't know much about. Maybe one day I will try to read it in its entirety, maybe..."
