Why read it?

1 author picked A Feast of Vultures as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book describes in fascinating detail several episodes of crony capitalism in contemporary India. The author focuses on the intimate nexus between big business and politics that shapes economic policies and covertly funds elections, often to the detriment of the interests of underprivileged sections of society.

From Paranjoy's list on crony capitalism.
