About this ebook
What is economics?
What can - and can't - it explain about the world?
Why does it matter?
Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at Cambridge University, and writes a column for the Guardian. The Observer called his book 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, which was a no.1 bestseller, 'a witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy.' He won the Wassily Leontief Prize for advancing the frontiers of economic thought, and is a vocal critic of the failures of our current economic system.

This is an excellent read for those who want to understand the world of economics. Ha-Joon Chang explains various economic theories and their underlying concepts and the people behind those theories. This helps one to understand the flaws in each system and why the world behaves the way it does today. If you want to understand economics of today its very important to understand the economics of the past. Economists have found a niche for themselves by making the subject of economics harder for ordinary people to understand but this book helps you to see through their tricks and makes every thing very clear and easy to understand.
