Stiglitz on presidential contenders Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. “The question is whether the United States is rich enough to be able to make sure that everyone has a basic right to health care, family leave, parental, you know, sick leave—we are exceptional—whether we are a society that can tolerate—that should tolerate the levels of inequality that we have.”
”I think Bernie Sanders is right about that.”
Stiglitz on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): “The irony is that the president came out and said, ‘This is about who makes the trade rules—China or the United States?’ … But I think the big issue is, this is about who makes the rules of trade—the American people, our democratic process, or the corporations? And who they’re made for, which is, for the corporations or for all of us?”
