El capitalismo y su Séptimo de Caballería

It is not easy to describe capitalism. It could simply be said that it is a system in which money is invested to obtain a profit. But those who have tried to define it -from Karl Marx to Adam Smith, from the Illustrated to the leaders of the great investment funds- have run into its elusive character. Now, what if what capitalism looks like is General Custer and the US government's fight against the American Indians? In this original and counterintuitive book, which is at the same time a history of capitalism and an analysis of its future, Alfonso Durán-Pich unravels how our economic system has demonstrated its ability to survive against all its enemies. To do this, it has used a multitude of resources that have allowed it to adjust to the changes that occurred in the environment. But, as the Seventh Cavalry, he has left many corpses behind. And this ends up paying. Is it possible that capitalism has won a thousand battles so far, but could lose the last and most important one? To prevent the peculiar version of Chinese capitalism from subjugating liberal capitalism, it must be self-critical and put a stop to the financial hydra and the excessive ambition of the big technology companies. Only in this way, says Durán-Pich, will we avoid ending up like Custer.
