About this product

Product Information

El 1 % de la poblacion disfruta de las mejores viviendas, la mejor educacion, los mejores medicos y el mejor nivel de vida, pero hay una cosa que el dinero no puede comprar: la comprension de que su destino esta ligado a como vive el otro 99 %. A lo largo de la historia esto es algo que esa minoria solo ha logrado entender... cuando ya era demasiado tarde.Las consecuencias de la desigualdad son conocidas: altos indices de criminalidad, problemas sanitarios, menores niveles de educacion, de cohesion social y de esperanza de vida. Pero cuales son sus causas, por que esta creciendo con tanta rapidez y cual es su efecto sobre la economia? El precio de la desigualdad proporciona las esperadas respuestas a estas apremiantes cuestiones en una de las mas brillantes contribuciones de un economista al debate publico de los ultimos anos.El premio Nobel Joseph Stiglitz muestra como los mercados por si solos no son ni eficientes ni estables y tienden a acumular la riqueza en manos de unos pocos mas que a promover la competencia. Revela ademas como las politicas de gobiernos e instituciones son propensas a acentuar esta tendencia, influyendo sobre los mercados en modos que dan ventaja a los mas ricos frente al resto. La democracia y el imperio de la ley se ven a su vez debilitados por la cada vez mayor concentracion del poder en manos de los mas privilegiados.Este libro constituye una contundente critica a las ideas del libre mercado y a la direccion que Estados Unidos y muchas otras sociedades han tomado durante los ultimos treinta anos, demostrando por que no es solo injusta sino ademas insensata. Stiglitz ofrece esperanza en la forma de un concreto conjunto de reformas que contribuirian a crear una sociedad mas justa y equitativa, ademas de una economia mas solida y estable. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION While the top 1 percent of the population enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that "their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live." The consequences of inequality are known: higher crime rates, sanitary issues, lower levels of education, social unity, and hope for a better life. Here, Nobel Prize-winning economist provides answers to this rapidly growing and troubling matter.
