23 things they don't tell you about capitalism

23 Things they don't tell you about capitalism/Ha-Joon Chang 286 pgs.

Seems like there are a lot of people out there with opinions on economics, what it means and how it works but few of them are actually finding out if what they think is true.  Wow, can't imagine that people aren't interested in the truth, can you?  In this book, Ha-Joon Chang (an economist) debunks some of the ideas about capitalism and how things actually work.  He has consulted actual research and has facts.  This book is really my kind of thing since I like economics and facts.  You can read this and learn more about the free market, living standards, government, pay, communism and the value of economists.  I'm sure some of this will surprise you or you will reject it because it isn't what you think.  Maybe you will be convinced by facts or maybe you will at least contemplate your position and where it comes from.  Highly enjoyable book.
