economist Joseph E. Stiglitz
 | short profile |
"I recognized that information was, in many respects, like a public good, and it was this insight that
made it clear to me that it was unlikely that the private market would provide efficient resource
allocations whenever information was endogenous {growing from within}."
"Macroeconomic policy can never be devoid of politics: it involves fundamental trade-offs and
affects different groups differently."
— Joseph E. Stiglitz

 | "Mismeasuring Our Lives: Why G.D.P. Doesn't Add Up - The Report by The Commission On The Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress" [2010] by Joseph Stiglitz, Amartya Sen & Jean Paul Fitoussi In February of 2008, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France asked Nobel Prize–winning econo-mists Stiglitz and Sen, along with the distinguished French economist Jean-Paul Fitoussi, to establish a commission to study whether the most-widely-used measure of economic activity – Gross Domestic Product (G.D.P.) – is a reliable indicator of economic and social progress; the result is a sweeping assessment of the limitations of G.D.P. as a measurement of the well-being of societies, such as how G.D.P. overlooks economic inequality and does not factor environ-mental impacts into economic decisions.
