Ha Joon Chang has come out with a brilliant new Economics book that basically tells how the global economy works. The South-Korean born actual best selling author of several books as made it a career teaching in England and blasting the economic system of the Anglo-sphere world where free-markets are encouraged to keep profits in the hands of a few who get to decide where it is allocated. He has been a thorn on the side of British bankers and capitalist s since day one arriving at the University of Cambridge unable to speak English fluently and now he has a bit more simplistic and more readable book for the masses interested in inequality and the causes from the economy. Ha Joon's book "Economics" a users guide goes through as Chang introduces a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how each has its strengths and weaknesses, and why there is no one way to explain economic behavior although in many universities only one model is approached and discussed being the classical approach.
If you want to understand our increasingly global and interconnected world, often driven by economics then this is the book for you and this professor is cool. He lays it straight about the financialization of the Western economies and how neo-liberalism economics is just basically neo-feudalism for most of the people of the world as conditions are as unequal and unfair as colonialism. The book should be required reading for all high school and college introductory courses to this field of study and one can get a better understanding why profits triumph people with the global era of multi-national corporations whose only loyalties are to stockholders instead of the people working where upper management doesn't even consider human. A Ha Joon Change will never be pushed and given a platform like evil speakers of the broadcast spectrum like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, or a Mark Levin and Michael savage. ha Joon's ideas would actually make people think and question what they have been told and why they are being told certain beliefs from mainstream media.
