THIS WEEK:  Joseph Stiglitz - The Age of Inequality (lecture).  Trickle-down neo-liberal economics has not worked. Well, not exactly. It’s worked beautifully for the rich. U.S. income inequality has returned to levels not seen since the 1920s. The top 1% rakes in one-fourth of the national income and has assets equivalent to half the national wealth. The Age of Inequality began in earnest more than 30 years ago. Joseph Stiglitz, University Professor at Columbia, is the recipient of the Nobel Prize in economics. He is the author of “Globalization and Its Discontents.”
