| About The Author | Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at Cambridge University. His book 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism was a no.1 bestseller and was called by the Observer 'a witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy.' He is a popular columnist at the Guardian, and a vocal critic of the failures of our economic system. |
| Review Quote | Page turning… A fascinating, hurtling explanation of everything… You could use it as a primer, a reference book, a brief history; it is all these things… It reflects the urgent generosity of a thinker whose depth of understanding is matched by a desire to see us all understand… Ha-Joon Chang's wealth is in his knowledge, perceptiveness, insight and vision. And he can't give it away fast enough. It flies off him like the seeds of a dandelion |
| Other text | Brilliant… Chang's lightness of touch makes often dry subject matter very readable… The first section is a page-turning history, the second a call to arms about how to apply economics in the real world using simple, everyday examples |
