Book • 2025

John Cassidy's sweeping narrative examines capitalism's evolution through the lens of its detractors, spanning from 19th-century Luddites to contemporary degrowth advocates.

The book highlights both famous critics like Marx and Keynes, and lesser-known figures such as Trinidadian economist Eric Williams and Indian Gandhian economist J.C.

Kumarappa, while addressing modern concerns about AI, inequality, and climate change.
