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 Bad Samaritans, 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. 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608193387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.15h x 5.57w x 0.79d","brand":"Ha-Joon Chang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36661783625884,"sku":"9781608193387","price":16.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_c32b5d12-c75b-4da5-95f7-a0c62f4d4f3e.jpg?v=1603900260","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/23-things-they-dont-tell-you-about-capitalism-9781608193387","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
