People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent

“Urgent work, by the foremost champion of ‘progressive capitalism.’ ” ―The New Yorker

The American people, however, are far from powerless, and Joseph Stiglitz provides an alternative path forward through his vision of progressive capitalism, with a comprehensive set of political and economic changes.
