Let’s discuss: "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" by Ha-Joon Chang

Details

Ever get the feeling capitalism isn’t quite the flawless, self-correcting machine we’ve been told? “23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism” is here to shake up your assumptions.

This sharp, witty, and downright rebellious book takes a sledgehammer to economic myths, exposing why free markets aren’t really free, and why washing machines changed the world more than the internet. It’s like an economics class taught by your smartest, most sarcastic friend.

Whether you’re a die-hard capitalist, or a skeptical socialist, this book will give you plenty to chew on. Grab a seat and get ready for some economic myth-busting, good company, and probably a few moments of existential crisis.
