23 Things You Weren't Told About Capitalism
In 23 Things You Weren't Told About Capitalism, Ha-Joon Chang deftly debunks myths about the workings of the world economy. He convincingly and strikingly demonstrates that the washing machine has changed the world more than the internet, that we are not actually living in a post-industrial age, that making the rich richer makes the poor poorer, and that there is actually no such thing as a free market.
Criticizing the free market ideology in a very humorous style, Chang poses very interesting questions whose answers you will have fun reading:
-How can a country that can produce high-quality intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines fail to produce a properly working television?
-How come the economies of the most economically successful countries are managed by people who are not economists?
-Why do all Europeans today owe their freedom to Russian communists?
-In which country do they beat those who do not invest in industry?
-Why does economics harm the economy?
Those who want to understand the latest developments in world politics and the dynamics behind the global crisis should definitely read this book. "Important... Persuasive... It explains well that globalization should be sensitive."
