Ha-Joon Chang's book, 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism, overturns traditional economic wisdom and reveals how the world really works. In this revealing work, Chang debunks the biggest myths of our time and suggests an alternative view of the world, such as: there is no free market, globalization does not make the world richer, we do not live in a digital world - the washing machine has changed our lives more than the Internet, poor countries are more entrepreneurial than rich ones, higher executive salaries do not necessarily bring better results. Ha-Joon Chang urges us not to accept things as they are but to seek better ways.

Chang is a reader in the Political Economy of Development at the University of Cambridge and has written other works such as Kicking Away the Ladder and Bad Samaritans. Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, he has been a regular contributor to the Guardian and an active critic of the failures of our economic system.
