Capitalism : A Ghost Story
by
Arundhati Roy
Capitalism’s real “grave-diggers” may end up being its own
delusional Cardinals, who have turned ideology into faith.
Despite their strategic brilliance, they seem to have trouble grasping a simple fact: Capitalism is destroying the planet.
The two old tricks that dug it out of past crises—War and Shopping—simply will not work.
... As night fell over Mumbai, guards in crisp linen shirts
with crackling walkie-talkies appeared outside the forbidding gates of Antilla.
The lights blazed on, to scare away the ghosts perhaps.
The neighbours complain that Antilla’s bright lights have stolen
the night.
Perhaps it’s time for us to take back the night.
