Ha-Joon Chang
First published 2010

And whatever your stance on market control, there are probably things you don’t know about capitalism and its various orthodoxies. Even I, who expected to receive little more than confirmation of things I knew or at least suspected*, was surprised by some of the content of Ha-Joon Chang’s popular economics book.
