The Roaring Nineties: Seeds of destruction – Joseph Stiglitz

The book provides an analysis of the US economy during the 1990s, particularly the boom and subsequent bust, from the perspective of the author, a Nobel laureate who served as Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Clinton and Chief Economist at the World Bank. Stiglitz argues that a misplaced faith in free-market ideology during this period created problems that led to future economic issues.
