AMERICA HAS ALREADY SPENT close to
a trillion dollars on the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan but there are hundreds of
billions of bills still due including
staggering costs to take care of the
thousands of injured veterans,
providing them with disability benefits
and health care. In this sobering study,
Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz
and Harvard University's Linda J. Bilmes
reveal a wide range of costs that have
been hidden from US taxpayers and left
out of the debate about America's
involvement in Iraq. That involvement,
the authors conservatively estimate,
will cost more than 3 trillion.
With a new afterword.
Joseph E. Stiglitz es catedrático en Columbia University. Ha sido galardonado con el Premio Nobel de Economía y es autor de varios títulos de éxito sobre la globalización, la crisis financiera y la distribución de la riqueza.
