Winner of the 2001 Nobel Prize in Economics, Joseph E. Stiglitz of Columbia University is the author of The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict. The book assesses the true cost of the Iraq War as $3 trillion - and counting - rather than the $50 billion projected by the White House and measures what the US taxpayer's money would have produced if instead it had been invested in the further growth of the US economy.
