In this collection of essays, Roy argues that capitalism, while presented as a system of growth and progress, often deepens inequality and concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few corporations and elites. She explores how large philanthropic foundations and corporate interests can influence public policy, media narratives, and even democratic institutions. Using real-world examples, Roy highlights the widening gap between the rich and the poor, displacement of marginalized communities, and the erosion of social justice. The “ghost story” metaphor suggests that the harmful effects of capitalism are often hidden or ignored, even though they shape people’s lives in profound ways. The book is both a critique and a call to question dominant economic systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArundhati Roy is an acclaimed Indian writer, essayist, and political activist.
