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.
In INET's full interview with Ha-Joon Chang, he discusses some ideas that seem contrary to traditional thinking in economics, such as free trade does not necessarily make countries richer, and that there is no such thing as a free market.

When the crash and the Great Depression came in 1929, it seemed to be a story foretold: Marx had been predicting the ever-amplifying cycles of economic activity, and whether or not you liked the idea, it seemed that history was following his script. Extremist communists and fascists certainly saw it as the end of capitalism. The crash of 2007 has produced no such extremism. Crashes come, booms go, but the system chugs along. Ha-Joon Chang is an iconoclast amongst economists. Free trade has not made emerging countries richer, he thinks: his own Korea is a perfect example of the success of managed mercantilism. And he does not even get into back-breaking sophistry about oligopoly to do so. He simply observes that the world is not like the models of economists would have it and that there it is no great surprise to find their predictions are wrong. He returns to the fray in a new book on 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism, including: that our economies are still planned economies; that the washing machine has been more transformative than the internet; that the market does not pay the wage you deserve; that we do not want more efficient financial markets...In each case, Ha-Joon Chang employs the tactic of stripping theory out of the words that we use, reminding us that we should resist the bad science turning the world into its own misrepresentation of itself.

Development Economics Professor at Cambridge University, Ha-Joon Chang, spoke to Carla Sapsford Newman about his counter-intuitive recommendation that Malaysia should stick to its manufacturing roots to ensure future sustained growth. He discusses why, in his opinion, a shift towards a service-oriented economy is not in Malaysia's longer-term interests. He discusses some of the problems associated with service-oriented economies: rising wages, a brain drain, dependence on FDI from multinational companies and a dependence on a relatively small number of sectors which are more vulnerable to global economic conditions. He discusses why Budget 2012's liberalisation of 17 service sectors is the wrong direction for the country to be moving in

Korean-born economist Ha-Joon Chang teaches economics at the University of Cambridge and is the author of the forthcoming book, "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism." "[Obama] has to buy time to restructure the economy without creating a recession by sustaining this deficit spending, because otherwise our other option is going back to the 1930s," Chang says. "Don't forget that in the 1930s a lot of countries started cutting this deficit as soon as things looked slightly better, and many of them went back into recession."

Is capitalism to blame for the rise in unrest and the fall of global markets? One scholar argued yes, saying it is merely how capitalism works. Ha-Joon Chang, a senior research associate at the Center for Economic and Policy Research and author of "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" argued the assumptions behind the dogma and hype of capitalism and the free market spun by the neoliberal economists since the era of Reagan are completely false.
