Talk:Joseph E. Stiglitz/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is a good article, with lots of information.

It still needs improvements such as a better formatting and the removal and/or counterbalancing of some localized POV's.

It needs an expansion on Stiglitz main strenghts, a description of his latest books still incomplete and a better technical description of Stiglitz contributions to "Economic Science" as such is necessary. Perhaps some less space should be devoted to "intrigues" inside the World Bank; Stiglitz was not laureated with the Nobel Prize for that. 200.153.161.142 19:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heard elsewhere

Stiglitz's article. It seemed fine though it could use more info on his theoretical contributions (he also did stuff on efficiency wages) and some things could be phrased better. Will try to do something. As an aside, usually he isn't considered a Post-Keynesian economist but a New-Keynesian economist (I know, all these labels are annoying). I guess he did some post-Keynesian type work back in the 60's but he's mostly considered to be in the mainstream these days.
