Ha-Joon Chang
23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism
Bloomsbury Press, 2011
¿De qué se trata?
This powerful report refutes the idea that free-market capitalism without regulation is the best way to spur growth.
Recommendation
Economist Ha-Joon Chang challenges conventional thinking about economics with 23 points you may not know about market economies. He takes on those who righteously defend unbridled free-market capitalism and minimal regulation as the only paths to financial nirvana for all. Using compelling research, statistics and case studies, Chang explains how change disarms the fiercest “free-marketeers” of their received wisdom. While some of his arguments may be debatable, he offers an interesting alternative to the other explanations for the world’s currently dismal fiscal dilemma and uncertain political landscape. getAbstract recommends this fresh interpretation to readers interested in their own, and the world’s, economic future.
