THE PRICE OF INEQUALITY
STIGLITZ, JOSEPH
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
The top 1 percent of Americans control 40 percent of the nation's wealth. And, as Joseph E. Stiglitz explains,
while those at the top enjoy the best health care, education, and benefits of wealth, they fail to realize that "their
fate is bound up with how the other 99 percent live." Stiglitz draws on his deep understanding of economics to
show that growing inequality is not inevitable: moneyed interests compound their wealth by stifling true, dynamic
capitalism. They have made America the most unequal advanced industrial country while crippling growth,
trampling on the rule of law, and undermining democracy. The result: a divided society that cannot tackle its most
pressing problems. With characteristic insight, Stiglitz examines our current state, then teases out its implications
for democracy, for monetary and budgetary policy, and for globalization. He closes with a plan for a more just
and prosperous future.

THE PROFESSIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISOR III
DE GOEY, JOHN J.
Sweeping changes have hit the financial services industry at the same time as more and more Canadians are
turning to professionals to invest their money. Consumers want to work with qualified professionals, but are often
left to work with narrow, product-based sales representatives. John J. De Goey argues that financial advisors
need to change the way they do business. Instead of earning commissions for placing products, they need to
begin charging fees for rendering services. In the process, advisors will be putting the interests of their clients
ahead of the interests of their employers and product suppliers for the first time. In essence, De Goey is calling
for the professionalization of the financial services industry. This new edition is updated to keep you on top of
recent changes in the industry and is written in a more accessible manner. Whether you work in the financial
services industry or are currently an investor, De Goey's book should be required reading. He makes complex
issues understandable for consumers, and at the same time, encourages advisors to "do the right thing."
