Summary of 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism

In "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism," Ha-Joon Chang argues that the economic systems of the world are based on false assumptions and myths. He lays out 23 of these myths, which he claims are at the root of economic inequality and environmental degradation. He argues for a new understanding of capitalism that takes into account the importance of public policy, the need for more equal distribution of wealth, and the need for proper regulation and enforcement. The book also examines the history of capitalism and its effects on the world's population, as well as its potential to create a more just and equitable system. Chang finishes by arguing that if we are to create a better future, we must recognize the limitations of the current system and rethink our approach to capitalism.
