We are not smart enough to leave things to the market. - Ha-Joon Chang

The has been so totally re-written that many people in the rich world do not perceive the historical s involved in recommending free trade and free market to developing countries.

Unlike what neo-liberals say, market and democracy clash at a fundamental level. Democracy runs on the principle of 'one man (one person), one vote'. The market runs on the principle of 'one dollar, one vote'. Naturally, the former gives equal weight to each person, regardless of the money she/he has. The latter give greater weight to richer people. Therefore, democratic decisions usually subvert the logic of market.

Corruption exists because there is too much, not too little, market.
