Aschoff Nicole - The New Prophets Of Capital - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A deft and caustic takedown of the new prophets of profit from Bill Gates to Oprah As severe environmental degradation breathtaking inequality and increasing alienation push capitalism against its own contradictions mythmaking has become as central to sustaining our economy as profitmaking. Enter the new prophets of capital: Sheryl Sandberg touting the capitalist work ethic as the antidote to gender inequality; John Mackey promising that free markets will heal the planet; Oprah Winfrey urging us to find solutions to poverty and alienation within ourselves; and Bill and Melinda Gates offering the generosity of the 1 percent as the answer to a persistent systemic inequality. The new prophets of capital buttress an exploitative system even as the cracks grow more visible.
