Stiglitz '64 in the UK

The Independent interviews economist and Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz ‘64, the “unlikely looking scourge of neo-liberal capitalism,” as he begins work at the University of Manchester as “chair of the new Brooks World Poverty Institute, which he says focuses on the interface between academia and policy on poverty.”

The interview, which focuses on subjects from global poverty to debt forgiveness to climate change, also features a CV for Stiglitz, listing MIT and Cambridge Univeristy alongside “Amhurst College.” Funny, that the name comes from an Englishman, and the English press manage to misspell it.
