In "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism," one of the most iconoclastic thinkers of our time exposes crucial misconceptions about the world today. Myths such as the idea of the 'free' market, the enriching effect of globalization, and the supposed dominance of the digital world are thoroughly dissected. Chang argues that inventions like the washing machine have had a greater impact on our daily lives than the internet. He further argues that poor countries are often more entrepreneurial than wealthier nations and that better-paid managers don't necessarily deliver better results. This book offers a provocative and factual approach to topics such as money, equality, freedom, and greed, demonstrating that the free market not only harms people but is also an inefficient way to manage economies. Finally, Chang presents alternatives and demonstrates that a better path is possible.
