Why is our society so unequal? Why, despite their small numbers, do the rich dominate policy and politics even in democratic countries?

Why is it often difficult for working people to organize around common interests? How do we begin building a more equal and democratic society? These are the questions that are answered in Confronting Capitalism.

Even though political organizing can be very hard, political education does not have to be. This will be the book that a generation of socialists turn to for strategy and understanding.

Combining elements of Marxism and modern social science with clear language, Chibber is able to outline the core dynamics of our economy and politics.

This book provides an indispensable map of how our world works and a proposal for how socialists might overcome the odds and build a democratic and egalitarian future.
