Description
This incisive collection of essays examines the human cost of modern capitalism in India, where immense private wealth exists alongside widespread poverty, displacement, and political disenfranchisement. It traces the collusion among corporations, governments, media, and influential institutions, revealing how economic power shapes public life and deepens inequality. With fierce moral clarity and vivid storytelling, the book explores resistance movements, environmental destruction, corruption, and the erosion of democratic ideals. Provocative and uncompromising, it challenges readers to question the systems presented as inevitable and to confront the ghosts concealed within economic progress.
