Joseph Stiglitz is one of the most prolific scholars in the history of economics and finance, with more than three hundred published scholarly works. Since his first book was published in 1969, he has completed almost thirty books, at an average rate of about one book every 18 months. Many of his recent books have made their way to popular press, such as his book with Linda Bilmes from 2008 entitled The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict,¹ and his book Freefall: America, Free Markets, and the Sinking of the World Economy from 2010.² Stiglitz has augmented many of his books in the popular press with numerous and frequent opinion editorials with such newspapers as The New York Times.
