Ha Joon Chang is an amazing South Korean economist teaching at Cambridge new university of England and he has many mentions and quotes form all types of economic books I read as other authors love quoting him and also pointing out what a rockstar dude Ha Chang is in the world of modern economics. On page 80 Ha Joon is mention din this important new economics book looking at global divide and inequality called "The Divide" by Professor Jason Hickel and is must have read for any person with a economic ficus and portion in their home book shelves. Ha Joon is quoted to saying how inequality globally ios perpetuated and brings up his own child as an example. Mr Joon explains how he has the resources and finances where he is son doesn't have to learn a master trade at the age of eight such as shining shoes. The rockstar Ha Joon Chang doesn't have to worry now days with higher education and the nepotism favoritism of his son ever having to drive a richshaw.
Hickel attacks the Western capitalist system and towards the end of the book also attacks adverting industries and says they should be banned for encouraging over consumption and causing so much more carbon to be released into the atmosphere as people are brainwashed to feel been to spend and purchase more to dizzying heights and adding more to greenhouse affect thanks to it. I am always glad to see criticism of advertising and professor Hickel is dead on with this a major social and global problem. Canceling of debt is his simple solution to the divide and land grabs by these multi national corporations we are seeing all over the planet that adds more chemicals and by products thanks to big agitate business and the psychotic investor class greed to displace sustainable farming from people able to forge independent living.
The numerous coups and actions is repeated with this five hundred year agenda of class war far perpetuated by the super rich to evict farmers and take resources away from commoners onto their family trees is vividly written in this awesome book by this London professor who sees first hand the inequality and legacy much created by the British empire through the ages. The wealthy plutocrats realize long ago as Mr Chang and Hickel is would collaborate that in order to exploit people you need to take away their resources and living ability to tend to land. This book is a great history work by the anthropologist Hickel and examines the brutal tactics the Anglo American axis of eco-greed and evil has tolled on much of the developing world that numbers more than atrocities committed by the Nazis during World War II, but being on control of advertising dollars and the media little critique of the equal or more evils committed by the Anglo American Reich than the German one us rarely examined except by the pragmatic professors.
