Economist Ha-Joon Chang on "The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism"

The US government has poured hundreds of billions of dollars into the US economy in the wake of the financial crisis. But what steps are being taken to address the crisis on a global scale? The worldwide financial crisis is forcing some to rethink the neoliberal policies widely blamed for the financial collapse. We speak with University of Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang, author of Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism.

Our Foreign Policy has made us into an enemy in the world. We have to fix our image, and we can begin by imprisoning the people who had their imperialistic, murderous, policies. We need to stop being the enemy, and start being the good guy.

This was a good post. Thanks. Dr. Chang, from Cambridge has spoken well about us. I want to read his book. He said that we need to re-invent ourselves. He is right. We need to reinvent ourselves to be the good guys and the innovators. We also need to manufacture high quality products.
