23 Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism by Ha-Joon Chang

5.0

Finally a book that says it like it is and decimates the neoliberalistic lies we've been touted with one by one. Written in a way that is easily understandable and readable regardless of your earlier insights into economics and the so-called free-market. Learn about how there is no such thing as a free market (thing 1), how companies should not be run in the interest of their owners (thing 2) and 21 other things that will make you understand the world we live in better. Deeply insightful and absolutely lacerating. Should be mandatory reading for politicians. I'm starting to wonder whether they are illiterate, ignorant or simply don't care. It's probably the last.
