The Sport and Prey of Capitalists
How the Rich Are Stealing Canada’s Public Wealth
Book •
Linda McQuaig's 'The Sport and Prey of Capitalists' examines how powerful investors and corporations extract wealth from public assets and services through privatization and market-friendly policies.
The book argues this transfer of public wealth to private hands undermines social programs, increases costs for citizens, and reduces democratic accountability.
McQuaig provides case studies and historical context to show patterns of influence by institutional investors and policy choices favoring profit over public interest.
She critiques austerity and market-driven governance, proposing stronger public ownership and regulatory measures to protect public goods.
The book is positioned as a call to defend and expand public wealth against concentrated private interests.
