Capitalism A Ghost Story

“It’s not just the rich getting richer—it’s the poor being disappeared.”
In Capitalism A Ghost Story, Arundhati Roy delivers a piercing indictment of global capitalism and its eerie grip on modern society. But this isn’t just another critique—it’s a ghost story. One where the ghosts are real: displaced communities, forgotten voices, and silenced truths.

Roy explores how corporate power has seeped into every crevice of Indian society—media, education, activism, and even philanthropy. She reveals how some of the most admired charitable organizations are intricately linked to the same systems that exploit the poor and ravage the environment. In classic Roy style, the writing is bold, lyrical, and utterly uncompromising.

What makes this book haunting is not its tone, but its facts. You’ll learn how mining conglomerates displace entire villages, how billionaires shape narratives, and how even protests can be co-opted by corporate money. Roy pulls no punches—naming names, citing events, and shining light on the mechanisms of control that often go unnoticed.

If you’ve ever felt that something’s deeply wrong with how the world works but couldn’t quite name it, this book hands you the vocabulary—and the anger. It’s a wake-up call for ordinary readers who want to understand the economic forces shaping their everyday lives.
