Inequalities are not inevitable. Stiglitz's recent book

di Antonio De Chiara - Le origini economiche, istituzionali e politiche delle disuguaglianze di reddito e ricchezza secondo il celebre economista americano

EU/ENG - In this book, published in 2025 by Oxford University Press, renowned economist and Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz rejects the interpretation that income and wealth inequality represent a natural or technologically determined outcome of contemporary economies. For Stiglitz, inequality is instead the result of specific "rules of the game" that reflect institutional structures, organized interests, and consolidated power relations. These theses are integral to the legacy that this great economist has contributed to the debate on the topic for decades.

Two bestsellers, "Price of Inequality" (2012) and "The Great Divide" (2015), were widely read in the 2010s. With this 2025 contribution, Stiglitz has written one of the best treatments of the economic, institutional, and political origins of the phenomenon in contemporary economies.

This comprehensive volume is structured into several parts.

In the first, introductory, part, the author conceptually discusses the relationship between inequality, efficiency, and growth, exploring and highlighting the contradictions of the traditional trade-off postulated by standard economic theory.

In the second part, Stiglitz examines and highlights the mechanisms that generate and reproduce inequality: market power, rents, information asymmetries, weak labor bargaining, and the political influence of economic elites. The author extends his lucid analysis to the role of fiscal, monetary, and regulatory institutions in shaping the distribution of income and wealth.

The following sections draw on previous contributions, which the author reworks to offer a unified vision of issues such as intergenerational inequality, economic discrimination, and the interaction between inequality and macroeconomic instability.

Overall, this is a powerful reference work for the study of inequality, enabling readers and scholars to engage with a wide-ranging and high-profile contribution from the renowned American economist.

EU/ITA - In questo libro, edito nel 2025 da Oxford University Press, il celebre economista e Premio Nobel Joseph Stiglitz rifiuta l’interpretazione secondo cui le disuguaglianze di reddito e di ricchezza rappresenterebbero un esito naturale o tecnologicamente determinato delle economie contemporanee. Per Stiglitz le disuguaglianze sono invece il risultato di specifiche “regole del gioco” che riflettono assetti istituzionali, interessi organizzati e consolidati rapporti di potere. Sono tesi costitutive della legacy che da decenni questo grande economista offre al dibattito sull'argomento. Di grande diffusione sono stati negli anni dieci due best seller “Price of Inequality” (2012) e “The Great Divide” (2015). E con questo contributo del 2025 Stiglitz, pur avanti negli anni, è giunto a scrivere una delle migliori trattazioni delle origini economiche, istituzionali e politiche del fenomeno nelle economie contemporanee. 

Si tratta di un corposo volume articolato in più parti. 

Nella prima, di carattere introduttivo, l’autore discute concettualmente il rapporto tra disuguaglianza, efficienza e crescita, scandagliando ed evidenziando le contraddizioni del tradizionale trade-off postulato dalla teoria economica standard. 

Nella seconda parte Stiglitz esamina e segnala i meccanismi che generano e riproducono l’ineguaglianza: potere di mercato, rendite, asimmetrie informative, debolezza della contrattazione del lavoro e influenza politica delle élite economiche. L'autore estende la sua lucida analisi al ruolo delle istituzioni fiscali, monetarie e regolatorie nel modellare la distribuzione del reddito e della ricchezza. 

Le sezioni che seguono si rifanno a contributi precedenti che l'autore rielabora per offrire una visione unitaria di temi quali l’ineguaglianza intergenerazionale, la discriminazione economica e l’interazione tra disuguaglianza e instabilità macroeconomica. 

Nel complesso, siamo di fronte ad una poderosa opera di riferimento per lo studio delle disuguaglianze con cui il lettore e gli studiosi possono confrontarsi con un contributo di ampio respiro e di altissimo profilo del celebre economista americano.
