23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism

Speaker: Professor Ha-Joon Chang
Chair: Professor Robert Wade
This event was recorded on 5 October 2010 in Old Theatre, Old Building
We may like or dislike capitalism, but surely we all know how it works. Right? Wrong. Today, most arguments about capitalism are dominated by free-market ideology and unfounded assumptions that parade as 'facts'. This lecture in which Ha-Joon Chang will talk about his new book 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism| tells the story of capitalism as it is and shows how capitalism as we know it can be, and should be, made better.

Verbose and very painful to listen to. I'd have preferred to listen to the speaker speak in his native tongue (Korean) with English subtitles. This guy needs a course on stress and intonation. It goes without saying that all markets have been created by a political state since antiquity. The markets whether they are free or controlled operate within the context of that political structure and social structure, which explains why no two systems of capitalism or socialism are the same.

@Salford999Red That is because as he says- free markets do not, and cannot exist.

@semperFi4ever100 There is no such thing as "Real" Capitalism, because every form of economy which has capital is a form of Capitalism, and so all forms of Capitalism fall under the definition of "Real" Capitalism.

[venusathene]

He's funny.

[Salford999Red]

Title fail.

What he talks about is not free market lazzie faire capitalism.

@Di0genesus Im not sure they could really do something. The rich are pampered but not dumb and like Marvin Gaye said, "who is willing to try?". The cost is too high with a huge uncertainty. People want to live well and there are always poor that want their own, because its their turn. How to enlighten a new generation? I still think that big original ideas make big people and the others become second rate workers, and you never know how obsessed big ones become of perfection to tyranny.
