Bad Samaritans - Ha Joon Chang





Title: Bad Samaritans
Author: Ha Joon Chang
Publish date: 2008



For a book on economics, this is very easy to read. Heaps of great examples to support the ‘Bad Samaritans’ theory, as well as a convincing amount of detour into why every situation isn’t the same and generalizations are a bad idea. It was a little bit of a duplicate of ’23 things they don’t tell you about Capitalism’ but hey, all in a good cause. Recommended. In the light of what it’s trying to do, I don’t see why it shouldn’t get five moose-hoofs up out of five.
