Bad Samaritans
Synopsis
In "Bad Samaritans," economist Ha-Joon Chang challenges conventional wisdom on globalization. He argues that wealthy nations, despite their stated intentions, often hinder the development of poorer countries through misguided free-market policies. Chang contrasts historical development paths with current dictates, revealing flaws in arguments for privatization and foreign investment. This book calls for new strategies to foster global prosperity, even if they displease the established powers.
