Stiglitz scrive chiaramente [...] la diseguaglianza è una scelta politica [...] la crescita della disuguaglianza sta distruggendo le basi della democrazia. [...] O la politica, la forza, [...] è in grado di intaccare questi privilegi giganteschi, oppure queste ricchezze si impadroniranno della politica, perché la condizionano. — From intervento su Quel che resta di Marx, Rome (May 10, 2016).
