Globalization and its discontents / Joseph E Stiglitz - New York : W W Norton , 2002 - xxii, 282 p.

Serious critique of global economic institutions and the way that economic policy is made and implemented. Organisations that ought to have been helping to spread globalisation to benefit developing countries and especially the poor of those countries instead were implementing policies that created much great suffering amongst the very poorest peoples. Covers the east Asian economic crisis, the collapse of Russia, and unfair trade laws before making suggestions for improving the systems.
