Heterodox and idiosyncratic from all political perspectives, "The Specter of Capitalism" offers a unique viewpoint that coincides neither with mainstream conservatism nor with the standard contemporary views on the political left. This book challenges us to rethink the timeworn opposition between 'capitalism' and 'communism' and suggests that today we face the real prospect of a synthesis of these two leviathan economic systems, which the author terms 'classless capitalism'.
