    The Truth About Markets: Why Some Nations are Rich But Most Remain Poor

    What if the invisible hand of the market isn’t just a force of nature—but a fragile human invention on the brink of chaos? John Kay dismantles the myth of self-correcting capitalism to reveal how prosperity hinges not on ruthless competition, but on the fragile web of trust, culture, and power we blindly take for granted. Will you bet your future on yesterday’s economic fairy tales—or confront the shocking truths that determine who thrives and who’s left begging in the global marketplace?
