Ha-Joon Chang is here to show us there's a better way. 'Lively, accessible and provocative ... read this book' Sunday Times 'A witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy' Observer 'The new kid on the economics block ... Chang's iconoclastic attitude has won him fans' Independent on Sunday 'Lucid ... audacious ... increasingly influential ... will provoke physical symptoms of revulsion if you are in any way involved in high finance' 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 Ha-Joon Chang is a Reader in the Political Economy of Development at the University of Cambridge. He is author of Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective, which won the 2003 Gunnar Myrdal Prize, and Bad Samaritans: Rich Nations, Poor Policies and the Threat to the Developing World.
