23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism
Autor Ha-Joon Changen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2011
In this revelatory book, Ha-Joon Chang destroys the biggest myths of our times and shows us an alternative view of the world, including:
There's no such thing as a 'free' market
Globalization isn't making the world richer
We don't live in a digital world - the washing machine has changed lives more than the internet
Poor countries are more entrepreneurial than rich ones
Higher paid managers don't produce better results
We don't have to accept things as they are any longer. Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there's a better way.

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.
