Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there’s a better way. ‘Lively, accessible and provocative … read this book’ – Sunday Times ‘The new kid on the economics block … Chang’s iconoclastic attitude has won him fans’ – Independent on Sunday ‘Lucid … audacious’ – Guardian ‘Important … persuasive … an engaging case for a more caring era of globalization’ – Financial Times ‘A must-read … incisive and entertaining’ – New Statesman Books of the Year
