Ha-Joon Chang
出生: October 07, 1963 – Seoul, Seoul, South Korea
Ha-Joon Chang is a South Korean economist whose work focuses on development economics, industrial policy, globalization, and the history of capitalism. A professor at the University of Cambridge, he is known for Kicking Away the Ladder, Bad Samaritans, and 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism, books widely translated and debated internationally.
传记与作者历程
Ha-Joon Chang was born in Seoul on 7 October 1963 and studied economics at Seoul National University before moving to Cambridge in 1986 for graduate work. He earned his PhD in 1992, taught economics and development studies at Cambridge from 1990 to 2022, and then moved to SOAS University of London in June 2022. The broad arc of his life gave him a distinctive vantage point: he had watched South Korea undergo rapid economic and social change, then encountered in Britain the abstract models he later argued often ignored history, structure, and conflict. That tension between lived development and formal theory became one of the defining forces in his work. ((https://hajoonchang.net/my-background?utm_source=openai))
