The acclaimed Ha-Joon Chang is a voice of sanity--and wit--in this
lighthearted audiobook with a serious purpose: to question the
assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant school of
neoliberal economists have spun since the Age of Reagan. 23 Things They
Don't Tell You about Capitalism uses twenty-three short essays (a few
great examples: "There Is No Such Thing as a Free Market," "The Washing
Machine Has Changed the World More than the Internet Has") to equip
listeners with an understanding of how global capitalism works, and
doesn't, while offering a vision of how we can shape capitalism to
humane ends, instead of becoming slaves of the market.

"A lively, accessible and provocative book." --Sunday Times (UK)
"Chang, befitting his position as an economics professor at Cambridge
University, is engagingly thoughtful and opinionated at a much lower
decibel level. 'The "truths" peddled by free-market ideologues are based
on lazy assumptions and blinkered visions, ' he charges." --Time
