23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism

Book Review

Ha-Joon Chang's book «23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism» has been widely acclaimed for its provocative and accessible critique of modern capitalism. Chang, an economist from Cambridge University, invites readers to reconsider widely accepted notions of the free market and globalization. He argues that many of the common myths about capitalism do not hold true and that economic policy should be more flexible and adapted to specific conditions. Critics note that Chang skillfully combines scientific data with accessible language, making the book understandable to a broad audience. However, some reviewers point out that his arguments can sometimes be simplistic and do not always account for the complexity of economic systems. Nonetheless, the book is considered an important contribution to the discussion on the future of capitalism and offers an alternative perspective on economic development.
