"Chang, befitting his position as an economics professor at Cambridge University, is engagingly thoughtful and opinionated at a much lower decibel level." - Time "Chang presents an enlightening précis of modern economic thought-and all the places it's gone wrong, urging us to act in order to completely rebuild the world economy" - Publishers Weekly "I doubt there is one book, written in response to the current economic crisis, that is as fun or easy to read as Ha-Joon Chang's 23 Things They Don't Tell you About Capitalism." - AlterNet Executive Editor Don Hazen "Myth-busting and nicely-written collection of essays." - Independent (UK) "A lively, accessible and provocative book." - Sunday Times (UK)
