In this episode of Bizcast, we hear from Joseph Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and professor at Columbia Business School. Awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 2001, Stiglitz has held prominent roles as the former senior vice president and chief economist of the World Bank and as chair of the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers. His groundbreaking research on asymmetric information has shaped our understanding of income distribution, climate change, corporate governance, public policy, macroeconomics, and globalization.
Recently, we featured a captivating conversation between Professor Stiglitz and Dean Emeritus Glenn Hubbard, where they discussed Stiglitz's latest book, The Road to Freedom: Economics and the Good Society. Their dialogue explored the intricate connections between economics, policy, and society, highlighting Stiglitz's vision for a more equitable economic future.
In this episode, we’ll share audio from a separate interview with Professor Stiglitz, where he dives deeper into his views on the concept of “Freedom.” He examines how society, governments, and capitalism can either encroach upon or enhance individual freedoms.
