Perhaps nothing is more unfair in America than the vast chasm between the haves and the have-nots. Tax policy, as practiced in the US, consists basically of tinkering around the edges. It concludes and argues that only a small tax on wealth is fair and how elimination of all other taxes and fees will result in a more perfect free-market economy, elimination of government's borrowing at the expense of future generations, and a society more like the ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence. It also discusses what it will take to bring about such a taxation revolution.

In the American healthcare system, ignorance is not bliss. We are all paying the price for ever-increasing medical costs and the accompanying loss of quality care.

Face à la montée des indignations dans un contexte de crise financière mondiale, le célèbre Prix Nobel d'économie Joseph E. Stiglitz explique pourquoi le système économique actuel ne fonctionne plus pour la grande majorité de la population, pourquoi l'inégalité s'aggrave de façon considérable et quelles en sont les conséquences. Son fil conducteur est clair : l'inégalité a un prix, elle est à la fois la cause et la conséquence de la faillite du système politique et elle alimente, au sein du système économique, une instabilité et une inefficacité qui l'aggravent à leur tour.
