Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism by Ha-Joon Chang

5.0

I totally snoozed through my high school economics class, easily the most boring class I studied then (taught by the football coach who also had no interest in the topic). However, Chang Ha-joon made it really easy to understand without watering down the concepts. It’s fascinating and he writes with thoughtfulness. Whatever you think of capitalism and the free market, it’s important to be aware of the implications, and this book not only informed about that, but it backed it up and offered reasonable solutions. Really interesting book!
