But what happens now? Are bailouts and stern lectures enough, or do we need a rethink of our entire financial system?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  This acclaimed and inspiring book, by one of the world''s leading economic thinkers, dissects the flawed ideas that led to the credit crunch, but also looks to the future. Drawing on his years spent shaping policy at the World Bank, Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz shows why far more radical reforms are needed to avoid future crises, why the cost of recovery should be borne by the financial sector, and how we now have the opportunity to create a new global economic order. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ''Bang on the money ... unafraid to ask tough questions ... we need more of his ilk'' \u003cbr\u003e  Will Hutton, \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ''A brilliant analysis ... always enthralling'' \u003cbr\u003e  Martin Jacomb, \u003ci\u003eSpectator Business\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ''A powerful new book'' \u003cbr\u003e  Devin Leonard, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ''A seer of almost Keynesian proportions ... this is Joe Stiglitz''s victory lap'' \u003cbr\u003e  Michael Hirsh, \u003ci\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eJoseph Stiglitz \u003c\/b\u003ewas Chief Economist at the World Bank until January 2000.
