The first-ever comprehensive history of Beringia, the Arctic land and waters stretching from Russia to Canada, Floating Coast breaks away from familiar narratives to provide a fresh and fascinating perspective on an overlooked landscape.

Face à la montée des indignations dans un contexte de crise financière mondiale, le célèbre Prix Nobel d'économie Joseph E. Stiglitz explique pourquoi le système économique actuel ne fonctionne plus pour la grande majorité de la population, pourquoi l'inégalité s'aggrave de façon considérable et quelles en sont les conséquences. Son fil conducteur est clair : l'inégalité a un prix, elle est à la fois la cause et la conséquence de la faillite du système politique et elle alimente, au sein du système économique, une instabilité et une inefficacité qui l'aggravent à leur tour.

The top 1 percent of Americans control 40 percent of the nation's wealth. And, as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains, while those at the top enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that "their fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live." Stiglitz draws on his deep understanding of economics to show that growing inequality is not inevitable. He examines our current state, then teases out its implications for democracy, for monetary and budgetary policy, and for globalization. He closes with a plan for a more just and prosperous future.

But what about other kinds of "goods," like a spot in the Yale freshman class or a position at Google?

Governments today in both Europe and the United States have succeeded in casting government spending as reckless wastefulness that has made the economy worse. In contrast, they have advanced a policy of draconian budget cuts - austerity - to solve the financial crisis. We are told that we have all lived beyond our means and now need to tighten our belts. This view conveniently forgets where all that debt came from. Not from an orgy of government spending, but as the direct result of bailing out, recapitalizing, and adding liquidity to the broken banking system.
