Recenzii

A masterful debunking of some of the myths of capitalism ... Witty, iconoclastic and uncommonly commonsensical ... this book will be invaluable
Important .. persuasive . [an] engaging case for a more cautious and caring era of globalisation
Myth-busting and nicely-written . the best economists are those who look around at our man-made world and ask themselves "why?". Chang is one
In 23 lucid, sometimes breezily didactic chapters, Chang takes apart the stricken ideology of neoliberalism. Chang's method is not to engage with the neoliberals but to knock them down with assertions.
Ha-Joon Chang is a formidable critic...and a true exponent of the art of political economy
Chang's...iconoclastic attitude has won him fans such as Bob Geldof and Noam Chomsky.
For anyone who wants to understand capitalism not as economists or politicians have pictured it, but as it actually operates, this book will be invaluable.
