Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at SOAS University of London, and is one of the world's leading economists. His books include Economics- The User's Guide, Bad Samaritans and 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, which was a no.1 bestseller.
Excellent... Chang has been working hard at providing an
alternative to neoliberalism for two decades... Now he's reached
the summit of the profession
*Guardian*
Chang has a rare gift for explaining complex ideas... whether he is
dealing with food or economics, Chang is a delightful writer
*Sunday Times*
The only book I've ever read that made me laugh, salivate and
re-evaluate my thoughts about economics - all at the same time. A
funny, profound and appetising volume
*Brian Eno*
A brilliant riposte to the myth that policymakers can survive on
plain neoliberal fare. Edible Economics is a moveable feast of
alternative economic ideas wrapped up in witty stories about food
from around the world. Ha-Joon Chang proves yet again that he is
one of the most exciting economists at work today
*Owen Jones*
A fascinating stew of food, history and economics
*Tim Spector*
Ha-Joon Chang has done it again. His prose delights and nourishes
in equal measure. Somehow he manages to smuggle an urgent
discussion of the relevance of economics to our daily lives into
stories about food and cooking that are charming, funny and sweet
(but never sour). In taking on the economic establishment, Chang is
like a teddy bear savaging a rottweiler
*David Pilling*
Ha-Joon Chang blends culinary facts and economic expertise in this
rollicking guide... Chang infuses the survey with food-related
trivia, covers an impressive swatch of economics, and concludes
with a call that readers scrutinize, think imaginatively, and be
open-minded in their quest for economic knowledge
*Publishers Weekly*
