    Who's really crashing the economy? Ha-Joon Chang

    What is going on with the world's economy? It all started way before 2025 says Ha-Joon Chang, one of the world’s leading economists. He joins us to unpack the deeper causes of today’s instability and inequality. With over 2.5 million books sold worldwide — including 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism and Edible Economics— Chang argues that the dominant economic theory of the last 40 years, neoliberalism, has failed the many while enriching the few.
