Capitalism: A Ghost Story Review: Excellent reading - Ms. Roy tells a compelling story of the insidiousness of Capitalism. It has a right to exist and no one is against making money; however, the way in which they make it, is poison to the peoples of the world and their countries. The destructive behavior of "Global Capitalism" misdirects the essential goal of the human project from advancing mankind to advancing a few people. This has been done in the name of trickle-down economics, which, itself, has too few leaks. To little attention is given to spreading the advances of knowledge because of the self-centeredness of a few people who celebrate their advantages and wish to remain so - advantaged. They forget that those below them bureaucratically are still those who put them where they are, the people need to understand their power to remove the advantaged into a more just position. Read the book! Review: Interesting story - While the book aspires to present how capitalism works globally its focus is on India and it takes a bit more to understand local dynamics and political landscape. However very interesting examples of political hypocrisy and exactly what author is arguing how justice disappeared ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #235,133 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #52 in Globalization & Politics #84 in India History #189 in Asian Politics | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (386) | | Dimensions | 5.2 x 0.4 x 7.4 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1608463850 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1608463855 | | Item Weight | 4.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 136 pages | | Publication date | May 6, 2014 | | Publisher | Haymarket Books | ## Images ![Capitalism: A Ghost Story - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512Vaw1qzQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent reading *by L***D on June 9, 2014* Ms. Roy tells a compelling story of the insidiousness of Capitalism.

However very interesting examples of political hypocrisy and exactly what author is arguing how justice disappeared ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powerful, scholarly, poetic and short read on the truth about failings of indian democracy *by K***8 on June 7, 2020* I recently discovered this journalist and author and very proud that the torch bearers like her who speak truth to power, though small in numbers, refuse to be silenced. She is the goddess who cares for the poor and uneducated who are being rendered homeless and suffering from state and corporate violence. Many a journalists who are not as well known have been killed or jailed on fake charges. I pray for her safety. If you really want t o know what really goes on and reported by the corporate mass media, read her scholarly work, and watch her speeches on youtube. If you value human rights and social justice, you should read this. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1214419-capitalism-a-ghost-story](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1214419-capitalism-a-ghost-story) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
