In this book Stiglitz identifies the true sources of wealth and of increases in standards of living, based on learning, advances in science and technology, and the rule of law. He shows that the assault on the judiciary, universities, and the media undermines the very institutions that have long been the foundation of America's economic might and its democracy. Helpless though we may feel today, we are far from powerless. In fact, the economic solutions are often quite clear. We need to exploit the benefits of markets while taming their excesses, making sure that markets work for us-the U.S. citizens-and not the other way around. If enough citizens rally behind the agenda for change outlined in this book, it may not be too late to create a progressive capitalism that will recreate a shared prosperity. Stiglitz shows how a middle-class life can once again be attainable by all. An authoritative account of the predictable dangers of free market fundamentalism and the foundations of progressive capitalism, People, Power, and Profits shows us an America in crisis, but also lights a path through this challenging time.

Poursuivant le procès du libéralisme sans limites amorcé dans La Grande Désillusion, Joseph Stiglitz s’appuie cette fois sur son expérience de quatre ans en tant que conseiller économique du président Clinton. Comment, au tournant du troisième millénaire, est-on passé du prétendu « triomphe » du capitalisme à l’américaine – bien entendu surévalué et fondé sur des bases très incertaines – à une chute retentissante ? Avec une clarté de propos remarquable, l’auteur aborde le phénomène de la bulle spéculative, la vague des déréglementations aux États-Unis – en particulier dans le domaine des télécommunications –, ou encore les scandales comptables, à commencer par la fameuse affaire Enron. Fort de ses observations, Stiglitz esquisse les grandes lignes d’un « idéalisme démocratique », vision d’avenir fondée sur un juste équilibre entre le marché et l’État, et sur des valeurs telles que la justice sociale ou encore le droit du citoyen à l’information.

Given the impact of the multipillar approach to pension reform and the diversity of its implementation, the authors, who presented papers at the 1999 conference on "New Ideas About Old Age Security," re-examine the evidence and thinking on pensions and retirement security. This report examines global issues on pension reform which help put in perspective three major sets of questions. A first set of questions deals with generic issues that concern policymakers worldwide, almost independently of apporaches to reform. Most prominent but also least understood are the economic policy questions regarding the economic circumstances that are most conducive to the initiation of a reform and to its eventual success. Equally important are questions relating to the coverage of the labor force under a reformed system. Other questions concern the distributive effects of reformed systems with respect to generation, income group, and gender. A second set of questions is linked with a move toward funded provisions under a multipillar approach. A third set of questions concerns the multipillar reform approach itself. A wide consensus has emerged inside and outside the World Bank about the multipillar framework, but that consensus does not extend to several key issues regarding how the framework should be implemented in practice. The introduction to this report sums up each chapter in the report and concludes with a discussion of policy issues and on areas requiring further research.
