Jim,
I've tried Stiglitz at Roosevelt and it was too difficult Ii.e.
too much math I believe) for my students (yours may be different) - I use
Colander which they seem to like and than finish off with the first part
of Bowles and Edwards for ideological balance. Of course I don't get
into adverse election and Moral hazard at all - and I know that Stiglitz
is really into that stuff.
In Solidarity,
