Caste and Capitalism: Systems of Oppression in the Modern Era

By J Gordon Mitchell

This book undertakes a comparative analysis of two seemingly disparate yet intrinsically linked systems of oppression: the ancient Indian caste system and contemporary global capitalism. While geographically and historically distinct, both structures share a striking resemblance in their mechanisms of wealth concentration, power dynamics, and the systematic marginalization of vulnerable populations. The central thesis advanced here is that both caste and capitalism, though manifested differently across time and space, function as powerful instruments of systemic oppression, creating and maintaining rigid social hierarchies and perpetuating cycles of poverty and inequality.
