From the poisoned rivers, barren wells and clear-cut forests, to the hundreds of thousands of farmers who have committed suicide to escape punishing debt, to the hundreds of millions of people who live on less than two dollars a day, there are ghosts nearly everywhere you look in India. India is a nation of 1.2 billion, but the country's 100 richest people own assets equivalent to one-fourth of India's gross domestic product. Capitalism: A Ghost Story examines the dark side of democracy in contemporary India and shows how the demands of globalised capitalism have subjugated billions of people to the highest and most intense forms of racism and exploitation.From celebration Booker Prize-winning author, Arundhati Roy.

Brilliant Book, Brilliant Author
Arundhati Roy is truly a legend of her time. She's brave and makes one realise that more often than not, nothing is as it seems. Its a must read and an eye opener not only for all Indians but the rest of the world. Would reccomend this book and every other book by her, to all.
