August 15, 2002 DH on economic news - Fed holds fire, manufacturing 
sags * Joseph Stiglitz, co-winner 2001 Nobel Prize in economics; 
professor of economics, Columbia University; former chief economist, 
World Bank; author, Globalization and Its Discontents, on the U.S. 
economy, the effects of the stock market scandals, and how the IMF 
really works. In this interview, Stiglitz, who'd previously called 
for the reform of the IMF, says he's changing his mind, and it might 
well be time to scrap it and start all over.
