The acclaimed Ha-Joon Chang is a voice of sanity-and wit-in this
lighthearted book with a serious purpose: to question the
assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant
school of neoliberal economists have spun since the Age of Reagan."
23 Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism" uses twenty-three
short essays (a few great examples: ""There Is No Such Thing as a
Free Market,""""The Washing Machine Has Changed the World More than
the Internet Has"") to equip readers with an understanding of how
global capitalism works, and doesn't, while offering a vision of
how we can shape capitalism to humane ends, instead of becoming
slaves of the market.
Praise for" 23 Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism"
"A lively, accessible and provocative book."-"Sunday Times"(UK
)
"Chang, befitting his position as an economics professor at
Cambridge University, is engagingly thoughtful and opinionated at a
much lower decibel level. 'The "truths" peddled by free-market
ideologues are based on lazy assumptions and blinkered visions, '
he charges."-"Time"
