Delivering Ha-Joon Chang’s 23 THINGS (@BloomsburyPress) to #OccupyWallStreet
We sent several of our books to the Occupy Wall Street post office box earlier this week but managed to overlook the economist Ha-Joon Chang’s 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism, so we hand delivered it yesterday. (We’re disappointed but not shocked that Professor Chang is not on anyone’s short list for the Nobel Prize in Economics this year.)
The library is just inside Zuccoti Park at the corner of Broadway and Liberty. The shelving system seemed to be remarkably democratic; we found a great spot for Ha-Joon Chang’s latest book next to Tim Winton’s book and the collection Inequality Matters, published by our friends at Demos.
The spot for the book was so good, in fact, that it quickly caught the eye of a young woman who picked it up and started reading immediately!
She walked off with the book…but fortunately we brought a second copy.
