PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at Cambridge University. His books include Economics and 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, which was a no.1 bestseller and was called by the Observer 'a witty and timely debunking of some of the biggest myths surrounding the global economy.' He is a popular columnist at the Guardian, and a vocal critic of the failures of our economic system.
The only book I've ever read that made me laugh, salivate and re-evaluate my thoughts about economics - all at the same time. A funny, profound and appetising volume -- Brian Eno A fascinating stew of food, history and economics -- Tim Spector Ha-Joon Chang has done it again. His prose delights and nourishes in equal measure. Somehow he manages to smuggle an urgent discussion of the relevance of economics to our daily lives into stories about food and cooking that are charming, funny and sweet (but never sour). In taking on the economic establishment, Chang is like a teddy bear savaging a rottweiler -- David Pilling
