The author is a strident capitalist as suggested by the title of the book. His focus is on getting the black community to be motivated to pursue a life in business rather than being employees and explains some ways in which immigrant communities in the US have achieved remarkable levels of success through the 'spiderweb doctrine" which is basically communities spending money in their own communities first wherever possible.The book is thought provoking and is as relevant today as when it was first published ; the author challenges us as black people to create our own models of success rather than moving through life on auto-pilot.
