An Interview with Lindsey Schoenfelder
New York, NY, 7 May 2002
Joseph Stiglitz is Professor of Economics and Finance at Columbia University. After serving as Chairman of President Clinton’s Council of Economic Advisers from 1993 to 1997, he was Chief Economist of the World Bank from 1997 to 2000. In 2001, he was
awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on the analysis of markets with asymmetric information. Over the course of his career he has taught at Stanford, Oxford, Princeton, and Yale. Professor Stiglitz is also the recipient of the prestigious John Bates Clark Medal, awarded every two years to the American economist under the age of 40 who has made the most significant contributions to the subject. Among more than 300 papers in the premier journals of the field, as well as a dozen books in his 35-year career, he is author of Globalization and its Discontents. Joseph Stiglitz obtained his B.A. from
Amherst College and his Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Stiglitz is one of the most authoritative and controversial figures in the globalization debate. His criticisms have added a new dimension to discussions of international economic policy by questioning neoliberal economics as applied by World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. On matters of development, trade, and international stability, Stiglitz challenges the conventional operations of international financial institutions.
