In this revelatory book, Ha-Joon Chang destroys the biggest myths of our times and shows us the truth about how the world really works, including: there`s no such thing as a free market; the washing machine has changed lives more than the internet; people in poor countries are more entrepreneurial than in wealthy ones; and making rich people richer doesn`t make the rest of us richer.
We don`t have to accept things as they are. Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there`s a better way.
