Really interesting and helped in providing me with in-depth knowledge of capitalism and the history of it as well as side effects of it, with the odd comparison to communism. Would highly recommend reading it! Highly educational. Used it to enhance my Sociology research

It's a bit biased but this book states (repeatedly) every problem caused by Capitalism.
