Capital - Rana Dasgupta

A look at the rapacious capitalism of Delhi, and the dysfunctional, inhumane society it has created.  A look at capitalism and private sector services and where they end up without government regulation with a corrupt power elite.  You can see how government and private capital work hand in hand to disenfranchise and exploit citizens for their endless greed and profit.  Book is well-structured into specific sectors - property, health care, infrastructure etc. 
Built around research and interviews with people involved in the various sectors examined. 
Kind of an examination of the pure capitalist model carried to an extreme.

Lot in there.  Worth rereading.
