Stiglitz recently wrote a report for Roosevelt Institute outlining why he thinks inequality isn't unavoidable and that the U.S. government is at fault for not only the policies it creates that perpetuate inequality but also for advancing the narrative that inequality is simply unavoidable.
Stiglitz also discusses the role of the Fed, Dodd-Frank, etc., which are topics that Martin Wolf touches on in his book.
You can read the report here.
Stiglitz recommends many policies, among which are making full-employment a goal, expanding economic opportunities and security, rebalancing tax and transfer system.
I figure Stiglitz's suggestions relate to Wolf and Piketty while addressing issues concerning upcoming presidential election.
Thoughts?
