I wonder whether the author discussed the horrors of 19 century capitalism, since he despises "tariff barriers, building regulations and confiscatory taxes".

No, I haven't, I just found the title and the theses very bold, to not say stupid, in the current state of the world. I've read "23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism" by Chang Ha-Joon and I'd love to see an online debate between these two authors.

I wonder why you post this here. You read the title, haven't read the book and immediately go ahead and critisize it. What is your mission?

Have you considered the possibility that the book might actually present some arguments that might convince you? Just like that other book you like? You can't know that if you haven't even read it.
