Capitalism: A Ghost Story by Arundhati Roy

4.0

This is a collection of essays that is short but dense. Much of it relates to issues specific to south Asia, but the grasping fingers of the US are always present. Capitalism, and specifically global capitalism, is cruel to the majority of people in the world, not to mention the natural environment. With the current corrupt administration and the US's inevitable loss of power in the world, what Roy describes in India seems likely to happen here as well.
