Ha-Joon Chang (/tʃæŋ/; Hangul: 장하준; Hanja: 張夏準; born 7 October 1963) is a South Korean institutional economist specialising in development economics. Currently a reader in the Political Economy of Development at the University of Cambridge, Chang is the author of several widely discussed policy books, most notably Kicking Away the Ladder: Development Strategy in Historical Perspective (2002).In 2013 Prospect magazine ranked Chang as one of the top 20 World Thinkers.
He has served as a consultant to the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the European Investment Bank, as well as to Oxfam and various United Nations agencies. He is also a fellow at the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C. In addition, Chang serves on the advisory board of Academics Stand Against Poverty (ASAP).
Chang is also known for being an important academic influence on the economist Rafael Correa, the former President of Ecuador.
How did the rich countries really become rich? In this provocative study, Ha-Joon Chang examines the great pressure on developing countries from the developed world to adopt certain 'good policies' and 'good institutions', seen today as necessary for economic development. Adopting a historical approach, Dr Chang finds that the economic evolution of now-developed countries differed dramatically from the procedures that they now recommend to poorer nations. His conclusions are compelling and disturbing: that developed countries are attempting to 'kick away the ladder' with which they have climbed to the top, thereby preventing developing counties from adopting policies and institutions that they themselves have used.

Critical thinking about developed countries' being rich history by giving good inspiration for developing country today. What these developed countries do is exactly kicking away the ladder which make them to become what they are(rich, welfare etc.)
評分我們係教授寫的,講state和capitalism的關係,觀點略偏激,但又大量史實分析,還是蠻有意思的。
