Not really against but against the free market dogmatism.

His new book seems like a good read even if it is by a developmental econonmist like Chang. Great rebuttal against liberals.

its a good book for debating libertarians, even though its still bourgeois economics. I've read it.

Didn't you post a review of this book a year ago? :confused:

There's still some value in reading Keyensian critiques. For example the MR often appeals to Keynes in their criticisms of bourgeois economics, while also developing a more radical critique.

No, it was this very book.

Ha-Joon Chang exposes today’s rapacious capitalism, dominated by finance and driven by short-term profit maximisation. He provides a devastating critique of the ideology of ‘free-market’ economics. But while pointing to fundamental contradictions of the system, Chang draws back from a real alternative.
