Owen Jones meets Ha-Joon Chang | The economic argument against neoliberalism

Ha-Joon Chang is a professor of economics at Cambridge University and a best-selling international author. I asked him to provide an argument against much of today's prevailing economic thought. Isn't austerity necessary? Do we have capitalism for the rich and socialism for the poor? Is taxation theft? Does welfare encourage laziness and fecklessness? What's wrong with inequality? And can we defeat neoliberlism?
