Mr. Book just finished What Went Wrong with Capitalism, by Ruchir Sharma.

The author is Chairman of Rockefeller International and founder and Chief Investment Officer of Breakout Capital. He also had a 25-year career at Morgan Stanley.

This book is a typical right-wing rant against the size of government and government spending. He does purports to be against government giving money to business, but never cited any example of his companies turning anything down.

The author constantly rails against the size of government, government spending and the welfare state. On the rare occasion that he has anything negative to say against Reagan, it is to criticize him for not being anti-government enough.

It is clear that the author is another of the let government do whatever it wants and it will all trickle down to everyone else camp—he just doesn’t make that point explicitly. There’s no constructive ideas in this book, just complaints against government. And we’ve seen what terrible harm that mindset has done to the nation over the decades.

I give this book an F. Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an F equates to 1 star. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).

Until now, I still under impression that somehow captitalism still rule this modern world we live eventhough I know that it fails in many aspects. This book completely enlightens my mind that capitalism is already ruined in America and all the world. This book comprehensively state many points about what's wrong of capitalism.
