With the help of the 'Dead Presidents' on US currency, Walt Disney's Rescuers, an Indian bus driver named Ram, and sheep-burning French farmers, 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism tells the story of capitalism as it is and shows how capitalism as we know it can be, and should be, made better.

His books include the international bestseller Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism and Kicking Away the Ladder, winner of the 2003 Myrdal Prize.
