Ha-Joon Chang is one of the most accessible and provocative economic thinkers writing today. A Cambridge University economics lecturer and Guardian columnist, he won the Wassily Leontief Prize for advancing the frontiers of economic thought, and has made a name for himself as a sharp critic of the failures of the current global economic system. His previous book, 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism, was a number one bestseller, described by The Observer as ‘a witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy.’ In Economics: The User’s Guide — part of the Pelican Introduction series — he turns his attention to the discipline itself: what economics actually is, what it can and cannot explain about the world, and why it matters to all of us.
