Nobel Prize Winning Economist Joseph Stiglitz on Globalisation
Joseph Stiglitz is one of the world's leading thinkers on globalisation. He has put theory into practice, advising President Clinton and working as the chief economist at the World Bank. He is frequently at odds with big institutions, putting social justice at the top of his agenda."There's nothing wrong with globalisation, just the way it has been managed" he says.
Is it acceptable within his community to be a campaigning economist? And with one economist accusing him of peddling "snake oil" in place of arguments, why are economists such an argumentative group? Joseph Stiglitz talks to Carrie Gracie on the BBC World Service this week.
