Pestrý jídelníček prospívá každému - lidem i ekonomikám. Chod státu, společnosti i našich životů do velké míry určuje ekonomika: hladina inflace, úrokové sazby, měnová politika a tak dále. Podle čeho se však řídí samotné hospodářství a všechny jeho dimenze? Běžný člověk se často může cítit zavalený koncepty, čísly a ukazateli a někdy mu nezbývá než důvěřovat expertům. Stalo se tak možná nevyhnutelné - světové ekonomiky se v posledních desetiletích řídí převážně dominantní ekonomickou doktrínou co nejvolnějšího trhu. Ale...

Adopting a historical approach, Dr Chang finds that the economic evolution of now-developed countries differed dramatically from the procedures that they now recommend to poorer nations. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have...

The acclaimed Ha-Joon Chang is a voice of sanity-and wit-in this lighthearted book with a serious purpose: to question the assumptions behind the dogma and sheer hype that the dominant school of neoliberal economists have spun since the Age of Reagan. 23 Things They Don't Tell You about Capitalism uses twenty-three short essays (a few great examples: "There Is No Such Thing as a Free Market," "The Washing Machine Has Changed the World More than the Internet Has") to equip readers with an understanding of how global capitalism works, and doesn't, while offering a vision...
