Ha-Joon ChangA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more.
What does Ha-Joon Chang mean by “active economic citizenship” (xvi)? How does this relate to his purpose in writing the book?
At the beginning of each essay, Chang summarizes a view he attributes to free-market economists and then critiques that view. Refer to the works of one or more neoliberal economists on one or more of the issues Chang discusses. How accurately does he convey their views? Does he ever misrepresent them? If so, how? Cite passages from both authors.
Chang argues that as of 2010, the development of household appliances was socially and economically more important than that of the internet. Given what has happened since then, does his argument still hold up? Why or why not?
