"Sustainable Growth in the Wake of the Crisis: Lessons for Asia and the World"

Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz, 2001 Nobel Laureate in Economic

The Nobel laureate in economic sciences, Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz will evaluate implications of the financial crisis that began in 2007 for economic theory and policy. The market and regulatory failures that sparked the global downturn held stark lessons for economists and policymakers. But those lessons have not all been learned -- at least not as much as they should have been. Professor Stiglitz charts another way forward, explaining the hazards and opportunities of the post-crisis world, with a particular emphasis on the economies of Asia.
