A Velhice é uma Merda: O Socialismo Requentado de Joseph Stiglitz

Que tristeza, Stiglitz, outrora um grande economista, cada vez mais se parece com um militante da Unicamp: In his latest book - People, Power, and Profits: Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent, by Joseph Stiglitz (W.W. Norton & Co., 371 pp, $27.95) -Columbia University professor and Nobel laureate economist Joseph Stiglitz calls for “an innovative public option” in the housing market that “could use the IRS as a mortgage payments vehicle,” a government employment-guarantee for anyone who fails at a private-sector job, and an aggressive broadening of antitrust action to curb the “pricing power” of corporations. True to his subtitle, Progressive Capitalism for an Age of Discontent, Stiglitz clearly believes that capitalism can only progress, and even survive, with tighter government control.
