"Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom" – book review
==========
The book "Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom" by Grace Blakeley argues that the free market is not truly free and that capitalism is defined by the domination of society by capital. The book explores case studies such as Boeing's 737 Max disasters and the power of monopoly in capitalism. It also discusses the role of the state in supporting corporations and the need for democratic planning and collective agency to challenge the power of capital. The book suggests that a mass revolutionary movement is necessary to bring about a democratically planned economic system.
