23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism 

23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism

Ha-Joon Chang

From the publisher:
In “23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism” one of today’s most iconoclastic thinkers destroys the biggest myths about the world we live in. 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. This galvanizing, fact-packed book about money, equality, freedom and greed proves that the free market isn’t just bad for people – it’s an inefficient way of running economies too. Here Chang lays out the alternatives, and shows there’s a better way.
