A Conversation with Joseph Stiglitz

I’ve been watching a lot of lectures by Stiglitz in recent weeks (he’s a prolific author so there’s many lengthy discussions online in connection with his various books and papers) and, while I can’t profess to understand all that much of his underlying theories, he’s one of the most articulate and engaging speakers on economic matters — a subject that, quite frankly, used to bore me to tears more often than not, but for obvious reasons, has taken on a grim, if not positively morbid fascination these days.
