Critics Review
Page turning… A fascinating, hurtling explanation of everything… You could use it as a primer, a reference book, a brief history; it is all these things… It reflects the urgent generosity of a thinker whose depth of understanding is matched by a desire to see us all understand… Ha-Joon Chang’s wealth is in his knowledge, perceptiveness, insight and vision. And he can’t give it away fast enough. It flies off him like the seeds of a dandelion – Zoe Williams * The Guardian *
Brilliant… Chang’s lightness of touch makes often dry subject matter very readable… The first section is a page-turning history, the second a call to arms about how to apply economics in the real world using simple, everyday examples * Financial Times *
Ha-Joon Chang
