The Secret History of Capitalism. Why Are We Poor, Unhappy, and Sick

Does free trade bring benefits? Does globalization benefit nations? Can an open market be advantageous?
Leading Korean economist Ha-Joon Chang believes not.
Through numerous examples, he demonstrates how the free market leads to the destruction and devastation of dozens of economies around... the world, how neoliberal "experts" ruin entire continents with their incompetence, and how major Western countries impose free trade, using it as their weapon in the struggle for power over the world.
The ideas of the free market, - says Ha-Joon Chang, - have turned out to be a weapon for the West more powerful than the atomic bomb. It is precisely through the libertarian theory of "non-interference of the state" that they have managed to subjugate Africa and Latin America, most of Asia, and Oceania.
