De vier pijlers waar de economie op draait mogen inmiddels bekend worden verondersteld bij de BNR-nieuwsconsument: investeringen van bedrijven, uitgaven van de overheid, het verschil tussen wat je verkoopt aan en koopt in het buitenland, en last but nog least: de consumptie van huishoudens. En gegeven het grote belang van die laatste als vliegwiel van de economie is de grote vraag volgens macro-econoom Edin Mujagic: wanneer draait die motor sneller, en wanneer minder snel? ‘Daarvan hangt heel veel af, voor de ontwikkeling van de economie.’ En dat was nou net het thema van een gedegen publicatie van de economen Joseph E. Stiglitz en Martín Guzmán, dat zoals het een goed wetenschappelijk paper betaamt begint met wat de economische theorie en economische modellen zeggen, aldus Mujagic. ‘De verandering in de consumptie van huishoudens is afhankelijk van zaken als technologische ontwikkeling, toename van de arbeidsproductiviteit en schommelingen in onder meer de energieprijzen, zoals in 2021. Dan houd je minder geld over om te consumeren. Mensen voelen zich door dit soort factoren wat rijker of wat minder rijk.'See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the world's leading economists joins us to offer a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom. Many Americans believe this nation was born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are we―and should we―be thinking about? In his new book The Road to Freedom, Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America's current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare what he identifies as their twinned failure. He says that “free” and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, Stiglitz warns that these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom. As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. He argues the failures follow from the elites' unshakeable dedication to “the neoliberal experiment.” Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, Stiglitz says accepted ideas about our political and economic life  are really just twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few. Stiglitz posits what he says is a deeper, more humane way to assess freedoms―one that considers with care what to do when one person's freedom conflicts with another's. He says we must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action, including regulation and investment, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish.

In his latest book, The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society (W. W. Norton, 2024), Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz rethinks the nature of freedom and its relationship to capitalism.  While many agree that freedom is good and we want more of it, we don't agree about what it is, whose freedom we're talking about, or what outcomes we desire. Stiglitz asks the question: whose freedom are we talking about, and what happens when one person's freedom means a loss of freedom for someone else? Narratives of neoliberalism have been accepted as gospel despite decades of research showing that less regulation and more trust in the 'hidden hand' of free market economics do not produce greater prosperity or freedom for most individuals.  Stiglitz examines how unregulated markets reduce economic opportunities for majorities by prioritizing the freedom of corporations and wealthy individuals over that of individuals, resulting in the siphoning wealth from the many to ensure the freedom of the few, from property and intellectual rights to education and opportunity.  The Road to Freedom re-evaluates of what constitutes a good society and provides a roadmap to achieve it.

He is also the former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank. His books include Globalization and Its Discontents, The Three Trillion Dollar War, and Making Globalization Work. He lives in New York City. From one of the world's leading economists, a compelling new vision of personal and economic freedom. We are a nation born from the conviction that people must be free. But since the middle of the last century, that idea has been co-opted. Forces on the political Right have justified exploitation by cloaking it in the rhetoric of freedom, leading to pharmaceutical companies freely overcharging for medication, a Big Tech free from oversight, politicians free to incite rebellion, corporations free to pollute, and more. How did we get here? Whose freedom are we―and should we―be thinking about? In The Road to Freedom, Nobel prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz dissects America's current economic system and the political ideology that created it, laying bare their twinned failure. “Free” and unfettered markets have only succeeded in delivering a series of crises: the financial crisis, the opioid crisis, and the crisis of inequality. While a small portion of the population has amassed considerable wealth, wages for most people have stagnated. Free and unfettered markets have exploited consumers, workers, and the environment alike. Such failures have fed populist movements that believe being free means abandoning any obligations citizens have to one another. As they grow in strength, these movements now pose a real threat to true economic and political freedom. As an economic advisor to presidents and as chief economist at the World Bank, Stiglitz has witnessed these profound changes firsthand. As he argues, the failures follow from the elites' unshakeable dedication to “the neoliberal experiment.” Explicitly taking on giants such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman, Stiglitz exposes accepted ideas about our political and economic life for what they are: twisted visions that tear at the social fabric while they enrich the very few. The Road to Freedom breaks new ground, showing how economics―including recent advances in which Stiglitz has played such an important role―reframes how to think about freedom and the role of the state in a twenty-first century society. Drawing on the work of contemporary philosophers, Stiglitz explains a deeper, more humane way to assess freedoms―one that considers with care what to do when one person's freedom conflicts with another's. We must reimagine our existing economic and legal systems and embrace forms of collective action, including regulation and investment, if we are to create an innovative society in which everyone can flourish. The task could not be more urgent, and Stiglitz's latest book is essential reading for those committed to the American ideal of an economic and political system that delivers well-being, opportunity, and meaningful freedoms for all.

The Ghost Budget: How U.S. war spending went rogue, wasted billions, and how to fix it

HKS Senior Lecturer Linda Bilmes, an expert on public finance who has studied post-9/11 war costs for the past 20 years, says their staggering $5 trillion cost was enabled by what she calls “The Ghost Budget.” Using an unprecedented combination of borrowing, accounting tricks, and outsourcing, presidential administrations, Congress, and the Pentagon were able to circumvent traditional military budget processes in a way that kept war costs out of the public debate and resulted in trillions being spent with minimal oversight. The result: corporations and wealthy investors raking in huge profits, massive waste and fraud, and—combined with the Bush and Trump tax cuts—a shifting of the burden of the costs of war away from the wealthy and onto middle- and lower-income people and future generations. Of course by any metric, the United States-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were costly. Human life? At least 430,000 Iraqis, Afghans, and Pakistani civilians dead, along with more than 7,000 U.S. military personnel and thousands of civilian contractors. Democratic progress? Afghanistan is once again an authoritarian theocracy under the Taliban, and instead of transforming Iraq and the region, the U.S. invasion and occupation undermined popular sentiment toward democracy, unleashed sectarian violence, and strengthened autocratic regimes. But the budgetary problems are something we can address now, Bilmes says, with congressional reforms and planning prudently for the long-term costs of the wars, including caring for veterans. “The Ghost Budget” is also the title of Bilmes' next book, which will be published next year.Linda Bilmes' Policy RecommendationsCreate a veterans trust fund with an oversight board to pay for the long-term costs of caring for military personnel who served in Afghanistan and Iraq, costs which will not peak for as much as 50 years.Amend existing laws to automatically cover Iraq and Afghanistan veterans for toxic exposure to burn pits.Pass legislation requiring a set aside of a certain amount of funding long-term veterans care for every dollar appropriated for war spending.Restrict the ability of the White House and Congress to use the emergency and OCO (Overseas Contingency Operations) funding mechanisms to spend money on conflicts and to move war spending back into the main defense budget process.Address budgetary dysfunction in Congress by strengthening and empowering the House and Senate budget committees and streamlining their complicated and confusing budget subcommittee structures. Episode Contributors:Linda J. Bilmes, the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Senior Lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, is a leading expert on budgetary and public financial issues. Her research focuses on budgeting and public administration in the public, private and non-profit sectors. She is interested in how resources are allocated, particularly defense budgets, costs of war, veterans, sub-national budgeting and public lands. She is a full-time Harvard faculty member, teaching budgeting, cost accounting and public finance, and teaching workshops for newly-elected Mayors and Members of Congress. Since 2005, she has led the Greater Boston Applied Field Lab, an advanced academic program in which teams of student volunteers assist local communities in public finance and operations. She also leads field projects for the Bloomberg Cities program. She served as the Assistant Secretary and CFO of the U.S. Department of Commerce under President Bill Clinton.  She currently serves as the sole United States member of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Public Administration (CEPA), and as Vice-chair of Economists for Peace and Security. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University. She was a member of the National Parks Second Century Commission and served on the U.S. National Parks Service Advisory Board for eight years. She has testified to Congress on numerous occasions and has authored or co-authored numerous books, including the New York Times bestseller “The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict” (with Joseph E. Stiglitz)  and “The People Factor: Strengthening America by Investing in Public Service” (with W. Scott Gould). She was also featured in the Academy-award nominated documentary "No End in Sight," and was the recipient of the 2008 Speaking Truth to Power Award from the American Friends Service Committee.

Rusya Ukrayna Savaşı başladığından beri belirttiğimiz üzere asıl hedef ABD'nin Çin ile olan rekabetinin yönünün ABD lehine evrilmesi için gerçekleştiğidir. Hedef asla Rusya değildir. Rusya Ukrayna Savaşı yeni Dünya düzeninde safların belli olması, sıklaşması ve rakiplerin yıpranması için tezgahlanmıştır. Yakın zaman evvel yayımlanan makalesinde ünlü ekonomist, düşünür, ABD'li JOSEPH E. STIGLITZ bu konuya değinmiş. Kuvvetli bir küresel manzara okuyucu olması, betimleme kuvvetini de ihtisası olan ekonomi üzerinden yapması nedeniyle kitapları ile büyüdüğüm Stiglitz'e çok önem atfederim. Makalesinde Stiglitz; ABD, hem Çin hem de Rusya ile yeni bir soğuk savaşa girmiş görünüyor. Ve ABD liderlerinin çatışmayı demokrasi ve otoriterlik arasındaki bir çatışma olarak tasvir etmesi, özellikle aynı liderlerin Suudi Arabistan gibi sistematik bir insan hakları ihlalcisine aktif olarak kur yaptığı bir zamanda, tutarlılık testini geçemiyor. Böyle bir ikiyüzlülük, gerçekten tehlikede olanın değerler değil, küresel hegemonya olduğunu gösteriyor. Demir Perde'nin yıkılmasından sonraki yirmi yıl boyunca ABD açıkça bir numaraydı. Ama sonra Ortadoğu'da feci şekilde yanlış yönlendirilmiş savaşlar, 2008 mali çöküşü, artan eşitsizlik, salgını ve Amerika'nın ekonomik modelinin üstünlüğüne şüphe düşüren diğer krizler geldi. Dahası, Donald Trump'ın seçilmesi, ABD Başkenti'ndeki darbe girişimi, sayısız toplu silahlı saldırı, seçmenleri bastırmaya meyilli bir Cumhuriyetçi Parti ile Amerikan siyasetinin bazı yönleri ve sosyal yaşam derinden patolojik hale geldi. Çin, kendisini Amerika için stratejik bir tehdit olarak ilan etmek için hiçbir şey yapmamış olsa da, görüntü net. Washington'da, Çin'in stratejik bir tehdit oluşturabileceği ve ABD'nin riski azaltmak için en azından Çin ekonomisinin büyümesine yardım etmekten vazgeçmesi gerektiği konusunda iki taraflı (Demokratlar ve Cumhuriyetçiler) bir fikir birliği var. Bu görüşe göre, ABD'nin kendisinin yazdığı ve tanıtmak için çok şey yaptığı Dünya Ticaret Örgütü kurallarını ihlal etmek anlamına gelse bile, önleyici önlemler ne pahasına olursa almaktadır. Yeni soğuk savaşta bu cephe, Rusya Ukrayna'yı işgal etmeden çok önce açıldı. Ve üst düzey ABD yetkilileri o zamandan beri savaşın dikkatleri uzun vadeli gerçek tehditten, “Çin'den” uzaklaştırmaması gerektiği konusunda uyardılar. Rusya'nın ekonomisinin İspanya'nınkiyle aynı büyüklükte olduğu göz önüne alındığında, Çin ile “sınırsız” ortaklığı ekonomik olarak pek önemli görünmüyor (ancak dünya çapında yıkıcı faaliyetlerde bulunma istekliliği daha büyük güney komşusu için yararlı olabilir). Ancak “savaşta” olan bir ülkenin bir stratejiye ihtiyacı vardır ve ABD tek başına yeni bir büyük güç yarışmasını kazanamaz; arkadaşlara ihtiyacı var. Doğal müttefikleri Avrupa ve dünyadaki diğer gelişmiş demokrasilerdir. Fakat Trump döneminde ilişkiler bozuldu; ABD'nin ne kadar güvenilir bir ortak olduğu akıllarda ciddi bir soru işareti olarak kaldı. Avrupa ve Amerika, ahlaki olarak doğru ve ekonomik olarak mantıklı olan konusunda başkalarına ders vermekte başarılıdır. Ancak, ABD ve Avrupa'daki tarım sübvansiyonlarının ısrarının açıkça ortaya koyduğu gibi, genellikle ortaya çıkan mesaj “dediğimi yapın, yaptığımı değil”. Özellikle Trump yıllarından sonra, Amerika artık ahlaki açıdan hiçbir iddiada bulunmuyor ve öğüt verme inandırıcılığına sahip değil. Neoliberalizm ve damlama ekonomisi, Küresel Güney'de hiçbir zaman geniş çapta benimsenmedi ve şimdi her yerde modası geçiyor. ABD dünyanın en iyi bombardıman uçaklarını ve füze sistemlerini nasıl yapacağını biliyor olabilir, ancak burada bize yardımcı olmayacaklar. Bunun yerine, gelişmekte olan ve yükselen piyasa ülkelerine, kendileri için aşı ve tedavi üretebilmeleri için COVID ile ilgili tüm fikri mülkiyetten feragat etmeye başlayarak somut yardım sunmalıyız. Stiglitz neticeyi ifade etmek için şu cümleyi kullanıyor; Liderliğe layık olduğumuzu kanıtlayana kadar, başkalarının ardımızdan yürümesini bekleyemeyiz.

With the pandemic forcing governments across the world to borrow at record levels to fund the economic response to the pandemic, the world now faces an important debate regarding the future of its economic policy and its tolerance of higher levels of debt. As the EU undergoes an important debate regarding the future of its fiscal rules, the IIEA welcomes Nobel Laureate economist Joseph E. Stiglitz, University Professor at Columbia University, who shares his perspective on what role fiscal policy should play in a post-pandemic world. About the Speaker: Joseph E. Stiglitz is an American economist and a professor at Columbia University. He is also the co-chair of the High-Level Expert Group on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress at the OECD, and the Chief Economist of the Roosevelt Institute.

Da diese Woche die konstituierende Sitzung des Bundestags stattgefunden hat, wurden die Ministerinnen und Minster, sowie Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel offiziell von Ihren Ämtern entlassen. Bis eine neue Regierung gebildet wurde, bleiben sie geschäftsführend im Amt. Das ist für uns Grund genug, um die vergangenen 4 Jahre Große Koalition Revue passieren zu lassen. Im zweiten Teil blicken wir nach Frankfurt, genauer gesagt zur Deutschen Bundesbank. Ihr Präsident Jens Weidmann wird zum Ende dieses Jahres aus persönlichen Gründen vorzeitig zurücktreten. Wer tritt seine Nachfolge an? Welchen Einfluss hat der Rücktritt auf die Ampel-Koalitionsgespräche? Bleibt die Bundesbank dem Weidmann-Kurs treu oder nährt sie sich der EZB-Mehrheitsmeinung an?

So too, the world won't have a robust economic recovery until at least most of the world is on the course to prosperity. Global growth is far more muted now than then, and inward-looking policies in some of the nations where growth has been restored have resulted in an increase in their trade surplus, attenuating the global impact of their recovery.

W jaki sposób dzisiejsze podziały społeczne zagrażają naszej przyszłości?” autorstwa laureata Nagrody Nobla w dziedzinie ekonomii, Josepha E. Stiglitza.

El pasado 5 de octubre tuvo lugar en la Fundación Rafael del Pino el debate entre Joseph Stiglitz, catedrático de Economía en la Universidad de Columbia y Premio Nobel de Economía, y Joaquín Almunia, ex comisario europeo de Asuntos Económicos y Monetarios, en torno al euro y el futuro de Europa. Stiglitz explicó que los economistas estadounidenses contemplan a la unión monetaria europea como un experimento y se preguntan cómo los europeos han podido hacer algo así, algo que no tiene sentido. El escepticismo estadounidense tiene dos perspectivas. Los economistas de derechas consideran que los mercados necesitan flexibilidad y que el euro es, en este sentido, un retroceso a los años 70, cuando los mercados eran más rígidos. Los economistas de izquierdas, en cambio, se fijan en las consecuencias de su puesta en marcha en forma de desempleo, etc. Almunia defendió que el euro no fue una idea improvisada, sino que viene de bastantes años atrás, porque para avanzar en la integración europea había que hacerlo en la integración monetaria. Además, explicó que el euro no es un experimento, sino un hecho político de primera magnitud derivado de la caída del muro de Berlín y la posterior reunificación alemana. Stiglitz defendió su posición alegando de que es poco común que las economías estén estancadas durante ocho años, como sucede en la zona euro, debido a la rigidez de las políticas y de los mecanismos de ajuste y a las debilidades del diseño institucional del euro, lo que calificó como un fallo sistémico. También criticó que el Banco Central Europeo tenga como único objetivo la estabilidad de precios, en contraste con la Reserva Federal estadounidense que también debe prestar atención al crecimiento económico y al empleo. Por ello criticó la política monetaria del BCE durante la crisis. Por su parte, Almunia criticó nuevamente esta posición alegando que problemas como los desequilibrios de Estados Unidos o China o los problemas derivados de la desregulación financiera en Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido, que están en el origen de la crisis, no son imputables a la zona euro. Y recordó que los tratados europeos indican que, conseguida la estabilidad de precios, el BCE debe atender a los restantes objetivos de la política monetaria, como muestra el hecho de que esté aplicando las medidas de ‘quantitative easing’ que tomaron también la Reserva Federal y el Banco de Inglaterra. El superávit de balanza de pagos fue otro de los argumentos contra el euro esgrimidos por Stiglitz porque, según explicó, ese superávit se produce a costa de déficits en otros países. Este es otro elemento que explica los problemas del euro, que debería corregirse incrementado los salarios y los precios en Alemania porque ese desequilibrio causa mucho dolor en otros países miembros del euro. Almunia le dio la razón e indicó que la reducción del superávit alemán no va a deteriorar su competitividad exportadora. Stiglitz insistió en las debilidades institucionales de la arquitectura del euro, que, en su opinión agravaron la crisis. Almunia reconoció que se había olvidado en todo esto el papel del sistema

The true cost of the Iraq War is $3 trillion—and counting—rather than the $50 billion projected by the White House.Apart from its tragic human toll, the Iraq War will be staggeringly expensive in financial terms. This sobering study by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes casts a spotlight on expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veterans—for the rest of their lives. Shifting to a global focus, the authors investigate the cost in lives and economic damage within Iraq and the region. Finally, with the chilling precision of an actuary, the authors measure what the U.S. taxpayer's money would have produced if instead it had been invested in the further growth of the U.S. economy. Written in language as simple as the details are disturbing, this book will forever change the way we think about the war.From Publishers WeeklyStarred Review. Readers may be surprised to learn just how difficult it was for Nobel Prize-winning economist Stiglitz and Kennedy School of Government professor Bilmes to dig up the actual and projected costs of the Iraq War for this thorough piece of accounting. Using "emergency" funds to pay for most of the war, the authors show that the White House has kept even Congress and the Comptroller General from getting a clear idea on the war's true costs. Other expenses are simply overlooked, one of the largest of which is the $600 billion going toward current and future health care for veterans. These numbers reveal stark truths: improvements in battlefield medicine have prevented many deaths, but seven soldiers are injured for every one that dies (in WWII, this ratio was 1.6 to one). Figuring in macroeconomic costs and interest-the war has been funded with much borrowed money-the cost rises to $4.5 trillion; add Afghanistan, and the bill tops $7 trillion. This shocking expose, capped with 18 proposals for reform, is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the war was financed, as well as what it means for troops on the ground and the nation's future.

The current global financial crisis carries a "made in America" label. In this forthright and incisive book, Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz explains how America exported bad economics, bad policies, and bad behavior to the rest of the world, only to cobble together a haphazard and ineffective response when the markets finally seized up. Drawing on his academic expertise, his years spent shaping policy in the Clinton administration and at the World Bank, and his more recent role as head of a UN Commission charged with reforming the global financial system, Stiglitz then outlines a way forward building on ideas that he has championed his entire career: restoring the balance between markets and government; addressing the inequalities of the global financial system; and demanding more good ideas (and less ideology) from economists. Freefall combines an account of the current crisis with a discussion of the broader economic issues at stake.Joseph E. Stiglitz received the 2001 Nobel Prize for Economics. He is the author of Making Globalization Work, Globalization and Its Discontents, and The Three Trillion Dollar War (with Linda Bilmes). He teaches at Columbia University.

The global financial crisis reflects a failure of global economic governance. The failure of America's regulatory system has not only ramifications for the American economy, but for the global economy. It is clear that the banks' risk management systems could not even protect their own shareholders, let alone the well-being of the global economy. What went wrong? Where did the global financial regulators fail? What can we do to minimize the downturn? And what, if anything, can we do to prevent a recurrence? What are the lessons for global governance in the 21st Century? Joseph E. Stiglitz is University Professor at Columbia University in New York and Chair of Columbia University's Committee on Global Thought. He is also the co-founder and Executive Director of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia. In 2001, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his analyses of markets with asymmetric information. Stiglitz helped create a new branch of economics, "The Economics of Information," exploring the consequences of information asymmetries and pioneering such pivotal concepts as adverse selection and moral hazard, which have now become standard tools not only of theorists, but of policy analysts. His work has helped explain the circumstances in which markets do not work well, and how selective government intervention can improve their performance. Recognized around the world as a leading economic educator, he has written textbooks that have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He founded one of the leading economics journals, The Journal of Economic Perspectives. His book, Globalization and Its Discontents, (W.W. Norton June 2001) has been translated into 35 languages and has sold more than one million copies worldwide. Most recently, he has written The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict with Linda J. Bilmes, published by WW Norton in March 2008.
