A review by stevendedalus
Capitalism: A Ghost Story by Arundhati Roy
3.0
A short, polemical work meant for those with a ready familiarity with Indian politics. Roy remains an excellent stylist, and the passion seething from the page almost hits you physically.
The book serves more as a guide of scandal, a reminder to push through the surface-level narratives being pushed but, once it has shown you the path, going off to clear brush in another direction.
It doesn't have depth, though it isn't striving for depth. It works well as a manifesto and record of a certain time in Indian politics and a cri de coeur to do better and fight inequality and corruption. You can read it easily in am afternoon.
