MEDIA REVIEWS
'Page turning... A fascinating,hurtling explanation of everything... You could use it as a primer,a reference book,a brief history; it is all these things... It reflects the urgent generosity of a thinker whose depth of understanding is matched by a desire to see us all understand... Ha-Joon Chang's wealth is in his knowledge,perceptiveness,insight and vision. And he can't give it away fast enough. It flies off him like the seeds of a dandelion.'- Zoe Williams,The Guardian
