A Pelican introduction to economics that shows why we need not - indeed should not - leave it to the experts alone
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.
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
*The Guardian*
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
*Financial Times*
