# Joseph Stiglitz

> The Nobel laureate who turned on the institutions he once led. Stiglitz spent years inside the World Bank and the White House, then became one of the sharpest critics of how globalization actually works — calling out what he named "free-market fundamentalism" and the IMF's playbook with the authority of someone who'd seen the machinery up close.

## Bio

Born February 9, 1943, Stiglitz collected the John Bates Clark Medal in 1979 and the Nobel in economics in 2001, building a career on income distribution and market failures. He served as chief economist of the World Bank and chaired the U.S. Council of Economic Advisers before breaking with orthodoxy. In 2000 he founded the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia, where he's held the rank of university professor since 2003. He chaired a U.N. commission on financial reform in 2009, led a French commission that produced "Mismeasuring our Lives" in 2010, and served as president of the International Economic Association from 2011 to 2014. Time named him one of the hundred most influential people in 2011. His recent books — "The Great Divide," "The Euro," "People, Power, and Profits," "The Road to Freedom" — keep pressing the same nerve: that the rules were written by the wrong people. He's now the fifth most-cited economist on college syllabi, teaching a generation to question the systems he once helped build.
