Recenzje

'It is a rare book that changes how we understand institutions, but the Reasoning State does exactly that. Stiglitz makes an utterly convincing case that one of the central justifications of the administrative state is its long-overlooked capacity to provide credible and trustworthy decisions. In doing so, he helps reframe how we should think about bureaucracy and charts a course for revitalizing it in the future.' Wendy Wagner, Richard Dale Endowed Chair, University of Texas School of Law
