In today’s rapidly developing environment of global interdependency, the
consequences of globalization have touched everyone world-wide. The debate
surrounding globalization has inspired a number of reforms at the macro level,
but are they working? What are the implications of globalization for developing
countries? What are some alternatives to the current system of intellectual
property rights? What reforms can be made to international institutions,
including the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund, to
make them more effective, transparent, and responsive?
The World Affairs Council presents Joseph Stiglitz, acclaimed author and Nobel
Prize-winning economist, at an evening lecture in Seattle on October 16, 2006
where he will address how globalization can reach its full potential and
benefit people around the world.
About the Speaker
Joseph Stiglitz is uniquely qualified to address these issues. As a member of
the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) from 1993-95 during the Clinton
administration, Stiglitz served as CEA chairman from 1995-97. He then became
Chief Economist and Senior Vice-President of the World Bank from 1997-2000. In
2001, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his analyses of markets
with asymmetric information.
In addition to his extensive career in the field of economics, Joseph Stiglitz
is also recognized as a leading economic educator and prolific author. His most
famous work, Globalization and Its Discontents, has been translated into 35
languages and has sold more than one million copies worldwide. He currently
lectures at Columbia University in New York and chairs the university's
Committee on Global Thought.
Stiglitz’s presentation will be followed by a brief Q&A session. His most
recent book, Making Globalization Work, will be available for purchase
following the event.
