It's been awhile since I've read this, but the history and thesis is interesting. It cannot be denied that the current version of capitalism sees the rich benefit off of disaster. Recessions come and go and the rich get richer from them, the poor poorer. More recently, we've seen episodes such as Texan companies during the current freeze making money while utterly failing at their jobs.

The primary critique one might level at this work is that capitalism is supposed to be about free markets, and so one may try to argue this isn't 'really' capitalism. This ignores that capitalism has many different definitions, and frankly the one that sees the most usage today is the simple, straight-forward one you'd expect: a system devoted to the pursuit of capital. This also ignores that the hypocrisy started on the other side: people talked about how much they love free markets and separation of government from the market, but then they do things to undermine them, such as demanding corporations be treated 'as people' and be able to dump as much money into lobbying government for their interests above everyone else as they want.
