:I'll probably read it when I get the chance. I just finished another excellent book, "The Comedians" by Graham Greene, about the Duvalier dictatorship in Haiti- definitely an anticapitalist book.
Are Graham Greene's books really that anti-capitalist? I've seen a couple in the book shop at uni but they appear to be novels that dont have anything to do with politics really.
