Ha-Joon Chang, Bad Samaritans: The 
Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of 
Capitalism 

Oxford University economist Ha-Joon Chang argues 
against unregulated international trade. Mr. Chang 
contends that the GDP of many developing countries 
was higher prior to deregulation, and that the 
pressure of countries such as the United States and 
Britain to follow this model is false, as these 
countries built their economies with the assistance of 
government intervention. 

(Sunday 2:15 PM ET)
