Bad samaritans
New York Review of Books has a review by William Easterly, “The Anarchy of Success,” of Ha-Joon Chang’s latest book, Bad Samaritans. No, he doesn’t like it very much. I’m surprised Easterly comes across as such a free-market enthusiast. That’s unusual for someone writing in the NYRB. This is not to say, however, that he is wrong. Chang’s book, and mine, do indeed have a number of points in common. Chang is right to the extent that he agrees with me. Ha, ha.
