Excerpted from the blurb for this "what went wrong with capitalism" book:
What went wrong with capitalism? Ruchir Sharma’s account is not like any you will have heard before. He says progressives are right, in part, when they mock modern capitalism as “socialism for the rich.” For a century, governments have expanded in just about every measurable dimension, from spending to regulation and the scale of financial rescues when the economy wobbles. The result is expensive state guarantees for everyone—bailouts for the rich, entitlements for the middle class, welfare for the poor.
He thinks what went wrong with capitalism is that's it's not as laissez-faire as the robber baron era anymore.

proceeds to say the same monotonous sleight-of-hand changing-the-name-of-things-and-thinking-you've-changed-the-thing-itself garbage every bourgeois economist left of Murray goddamn Rothbard has shit out then re-shit out from their overpaid university institutions in a nauseating cycle for a hundred years
This is literally the same "road to serfdom" (also a terrible book) mont perelin garbage that has been bandied about by liberal bourgeois economists for a century, and is still as detached from the material reality and interests and the actual nature of political-economy and the state behind these inevitable realities. I'm unreasonably pissed at that blurb for being so goddamn bad and historically illiterate.
both of them. author and blurb-writer. go to the gulag and be reeducated. You must transcribe Marx's Captital by hand 3 times, with select chapters chosen by the central committee to be transcribed 10 times each.

About what I was expecting. Cause the correct content for this book would be: we, we(Rockefeller institute) made it go bad

Marx's Captital sounds like a porn parody.
A very lenient punishment
