INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

'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.'-Observer (UK)

If you've wondered how we did not see the economic collapse coming, Ha-Joon Chang knows the answer: We didn't ask what they didn't tell us about capitalism. This is a lighthearted book with a serious purpose: to question the assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant school of neoliberal economists-the apostles of the freemarket-have spun since the Age of Reagan.

Chang, the author of the international bestseller Bad Samaritans, is one of the world's most respected economists, a voice of sanity-and wit-in the tradition of John Kenneth Galbraith and Joseph Stiglitz. 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism equips readers with an understanding of how global capitalism works-and doesn't. In his final chapter, 'How to Rebuild the World,' Chang offers a vision of how we can shape capitalism to humane ends, instead of becoming slaves of the market.
