joseph stiglitz is a columbia university professor. he was chief economist and senior vp of the world bank from 1997-2000 and became a nobel laureate in economics in 2001. you may have heard of him recently for his book the 3 trillion dollar war: the true cost of the iraq conflict. it is the clarity of his explanation of global financial crisises which lends him a spot here at victoor.com. in the following videos, you will navigate with him the dark meanders of the world economy and hopefully come to the same conclusion as i: a democratic overhaul of the world financial institutions is imperative.
