Joseph Stiglitz - West must aid Tunisia to nurture democracy

Joseph Stiglitz - West must aid Tunisia to nurture democracy President Barack Obama rightly put a spotlight last week on the immense economic difficulties facing Egypt and Tunisia. These countries enthralled the world as their populations bravely overthrew despots. But the hard journey of reform is just beginning – and many of the biggest challenges are economic ones.
