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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChang, the author of the international bestseller \u003ci\u003eBad Samaritans\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003ci\u003e23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHa-Joon Chang teaches in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge.
