Joseph Stiglitz  

Definition

  • Nobel laureate, professor, and former senior vice president of the World Bank, Joseph E. Stiglitz is best known for his criticism of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and its economic development policies. Viewing the IMF as being undemocratic and apathetic to the underdeveloped world, Stiglitz believes that promoting democracy should precede the promotion of business interests.
