WHAT WENT WRONG WITH CAPITALISM By Ruchir Sharma ALLEN LANE 384 pages; ₹999

Ruchir Sharma is by no means a Marxist priest. For a quarter century, he helped Morgan Stanley devise capitalist investment strategies; then he became a capitalist, and founded an investment advisory firm of his own. He sat comfortably in New York, the capital of American capitalism, and presumably prospered. But he came to the uncomfortable conclusion that it was endangered, and wrote this book to warn the capitalist world.
