Ha-joon is the first economist I read. His books are accessible, clear and even funny because he uses humour at times. So thank you Ha-joon for making a literature specialist interested in economics! 👌.

I think Ha-Joon Chang succinctly summed up the entire world's main problem in one sentence. "The American financial system is parasitic". Thank you for the great information on the positives and negatives of Tarrif use.

Ha-joon was my professor at uni. The guy had the smallest office in the entire economics department, which was mostly orthodox. One of the few people putting out fresh ideas in the field of development economics. Top lad and great economist, glad you had him on.

Wish these types of conversations become mainstream... reminds me of those old school black and white interviews where people have intelligent, level headed, and most importantly, valuable conversations that help even regular people at least contextualize what motivations drive the decisions made by the powers that be.
