Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz warned there's a "significant" chance the US economy will contract in the second half of next year, and urged the government to prepare a second stimulus package to spur job creation.
"The likelihood of this slowdown is very, very high," Stiglitz told reporters in Singapore. "There is a significant chance that the number will be in the negative range." (AP)
