ECONOMICS STIGLITZ J., WALSH C. Księgarnia

For the fourth edition of this innovative textbook, 2001 Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz again joins forces with top monetary economist, Carl E. Walsh. Together, they integrate contemporary economics into the traditional curriculum. Highlights are the continued coverage of the economics of information and imperfect markets, and the emphasis is on the critical role of capital markets in the macro economy.

Joseph E. Stiglitz of Columbia University was the co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 2001, the highest honor possible for an economist. During the late 1990s he was the chairperson of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist at the World Bank. The profound contributions that Professor Stiglitz has made to both the understanding and practice of economics are unequalled.

Carl E. Walsh of Uhe University of California, Santa Cruz is internationally recognized as one of the leading monetary economists of his generation. He is one of the most sought-after experts on central banking, and his contributions have had an impact on both the theory and practice of central banks around the world. He is also an award-winning educator.
