Edible Economics: The World in 17 Dishes - Ha-Joon Chang

Reviews:

'A delightful writer... Chang uses a series of fascinating nuggets about ingredients - prawns, bananas, spices, coconuts - as a hook through which to explain some key concepts about economics... a rare gift for explaining complex idea' - Bee Wilson, Sunday Times

'Excellent... a fun book... takes aim at the neoliberal order through the unlikely medium of food' - Dan Davies, Guardian 

'A moveable feast of alternative economic ideas wrapped up in witty stories about food from around the world. Ha-Joon Chang proves yet again that he is one of the most exciting economists at work today' - Owen Jones

'A mouth-watering new book... Chang looks at economic theory as a buffet rather than a set menu; and believes fusion always creates better flavour' - Tim Adams, Observer

'Funny, profound and appetising' - Brian Eno
