23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism

Resumen del libro

A serious but light-hearted look at the problems of our economic system; critical yet constructive. In 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism one of today's most iconoclastic thinkers destroys the biggest myths about the world we live in. This galvanizing, fact-packed book about money, equality, freedom and greed proves that the free market isn't just bad for people it's an inefficient way of running economies too. Here Chang lays out the alternatives, and shows there's a better way. Chang won the 2005 Wassily Leontief Prize, previous winners include Amartya Sen and JK Galbraith. For fans of Joseph Stiglitz, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore.
