Joseph E. Stiglitz has had a remarkable career. He is a brilliant academic, capped by sharing the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics and the Nobel Peace Prize, and honorary degrees from Harvard, Cambridge, Oxford and more than fifty other universities, and elected not only to the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters but the Royal Society and the British Academy; a public servant, who served as Chair of President Clinton's Council of Economic Advisors and Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank, headed international commissions for the UN and France, and was awarded the French Legion of Honor and Australia's Sydney Peace Prize; a public intellectual whose numerous books on vital topics have been best sellers. What brought him to economics were his concerns about the inequality and discrimination he saw growing up. Wanting to understand what drives it and what can be done about it has been his lifelong passion. This book gathers together and extends to new frontiers this lifelong work, drawing upon the challenges and insights of each of these phases of his career. In a still very widely cited paper written fifty years ago, Stiglitz set forth the fundamental framework for analyzing intergenerational transfer of wealth and advantage, which plays a central role in persistent inequality. That and subsequent work, developed most fully here for the first time, described today's inequality as a result of centrifugal forces increasing inequality and centripetal forces reducing it. In recent decades, the centrifugal forces have strengthened, the centripetal forces weakened. His general theory provides a framework for understanding the marked growth in inequality in recent decades, and for devising policies to reduce it. A central message is that ever-increasing inequality is not inevitable. Inequality is, in a fundamental sense, a choice. Stiglitz explains that inequality does not largely arise from differences in savings rates between capitalists and others, though that may play a role (as Piketty, Marx, and Kaldor suggest); but rather, it originates importantly from the rules of the game, which have weakened the bargaining power of workers as they have increased the market power of corporations. He also explains how monetary authorities have contributed to increasing wealth inequality, and how, unless something is done about it, likely changes in technology such as AI and robotization will make matters worse. He describes policies that can simultaneously reduce inequality and improve economic performance.

Excellent tool, convenient and adjustable
Size: 2.0
This is a great design and a quality product. The angle adjustment for the needles is super helpful, allowing the exact distance needed for any size portafilter. Needles are removable if a less dense pattern is desired, and they are easily replaceable as well (spare needles are also provided)! The magnetic stand works well, and the magnets have the perfect amount of force to hold it in place but allow easy removal. I was a tiny bit disappointed that the base did not come with any type of rubber or silicone non-skid, and do recommend adding some to the bottom so it doesn't slide around on your countertop. I highly recommend this item!

Great tool, but be careful when you replace a needle.
Size: 2.0, Size: 2.0
Great idea, you can arrange the needles in either direction, depending upon the direction that you move the tool (clockwise, or anti-clockwise). But be VERY CAREFUL in dismantling, as it may come apart on you, spilling needles. Getting the needles lined up takes time and patience. Replacing one by itself should be easier. 3BOMBER would do well to include an exploded view of this tool in the instructions so owners know what to expect. That said, this works great, and the magnetic attachment to the stand is very convenient — easier than a stand with a hole in it. Also, the flat top lets you set it upside down in a jiffy. Definitely recommended.

Makes all the difference in your extraction.
Size: 2.0, Size: 2.0
This little guy improved the extraction quality without being overly complex. After grinding there were always high spots in the porta filter when I put the grinds in. There are several different ways to distribute the grinds and I found this to be simple and effective without breaking the bank. The weight is nice and comes with extra pins just incase you bend yours. I've had mine for over a year and haven't needed it so it's nice that it's available. Simple practical tools like this are great in the setup and show you don't need to break the budget to have a solid coffee setup. I enjoy the 3BOMBER line of tools. For the money they offer the best value

Nicely built, does the job, the stand is an excellent add
Size: 2.0
Its a WDT tool; that and a magnetic funnel for the basket are sort of "the deal" for getting an even distribution in your portafilter to resolve channeling issues. Its the proper size for E61 and similar-sized espresso machines and thus is compatible with basically all but the small "economy" units; for those you probably want something with less "splay" on the needles. The material and design make it "knock it on the side of the counter" easy to keep clean and the magnetic stand means its right there and won't get damaged. For relatively small money it doesn't get better than this in doing the job. Recommended.
