How will we navigate through tough livelihoods and an unstable economy?
World-renowned scholar Ha-Joon Chang presents a path to a more just and prosperous society for all!

"Will the economy naturally develop if left to the freedom of the free market?" "Are people poor because they are lazy?" "Will a fair world be created if only equality of opportunity is guaranteed?" "Is the welfare system a program that offers free benefits to the poor?" "Do corporations truly belong to their shareholders?" "Is government intervention truly unnecessary for economic development?" "Is free trade really free trade?" "Does the ability of an outstanding individual entrepreneur determine the development of a company and industry?" "Will automation take all our jobs?" "Is the claim that manufacturing is over and the service industry is dominant correct?"

World-renowned scholar and author of bestsellers such as "Ha-Joon Chang's Economics Lecture," "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism," and "Bad Samaritans," Professor Ha-Joon Chang returns with economic stories cooked with various foods. In this book, the author uses 18 familiar ingredients and dishes, from garlic to chocolate, to explain economic issues closely related to us—poverty and wealth, growth and decline, freedom and protection, fairness and inequality, manufacturing and service industries, privatization and nationalization, deregulation and restriction, financial liberalization and financial supervision, welfare expansion and welfare reduction—with engaging and insightful knowledge and wisdom. Breaking down our fixed ideas, prejudices, and misunderstandings about the economy, and presenting alternatives and visions, this book will provide strength and hope to all those who feel lost amidst challenging livelihoods and an unstable economy, enabling them to overcome difficulties and grow.
