TRANSFER; The European Review of Labour and Research `A provocative book.... Stiglitz is worth listening to.' Robert B. Reich, International Herald Tribune (Miami) A challenging and interesting book...This is an excellent contribution to the debate on trade policy. It is knowledgeable and authoritative, as one would expect from Stiglitz, who is a Nobel prize-winner and who was top economist at the World Bank. It is very practical in outlining general principles and giving detailed examples. The beauty of this book is that it adopts the sensible approach to markets to which most economists subscribe...a timely and valuable contribution. Huw Dixon, Higher Education Supplement The book offers a sharp challenge to the 'market fundamentalist' view that the best way poor countries can improve their lot is to eliminate all their trade barriers ss rapidly as possible.

Stiglitz and Charlton propose a plan to embrace the other half, to move to a future of shared benefits and shared responsibilities.
