Out of the crisis of our times Joseph Stiglitzs Freefall: Free Markets & the Sinking of the Global Economy" is a convincing coherent & humane account that goes to the heart of how we run our societies. When the world economy went into freefall so too did our unquestioning faith in markets. But what happens now? Are bailouts & stern lectures enough or do we need a rethink of our entire financial system?
