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.
