Capitalist Dictatorship by Milan Zafirovski explores the rise of capitalist dictatorship as a dominant social system post-2016. The book introduces this concept to academics, analysing it as an interconnected system of coercive economy, repressive polity, illiberal civil society, and irrational culture, contrasting sharply with liberal democracy. Zafirovski evaluates different dimensions and degrees of capitalist dictatorship across Western and OECD countries, warning it poses a critical threat to democracy today.

Though once thought anathema to one another, in contemporary society, Zafirovski shows that Capitalism and Dictatorship are increasingly codependent.

In this incisive new study, Milan Zafirovski identifies and investigates the resurgence of capitalist dictatorship in contemporary society, especially after 2016. The book introduces the concept of capitalist dictatorship to the academic audience for the first time.

It examines the capitalist dictatorship as a total social system composed of specific systems such as a coercive economy, repressive polity, illiberal civil society, and irrational culture in contrast to liberal democracy.

Capitalist Dictatorship also investigates multiple dimensions, forms, and indicators of capitalist dictatorship, and calculates degrees of capitalist dictatorship for contemporary Western and comparable societies, such as OECD countries.

Capitalist dictatorship, including autocracy, Zafirovski argues, is the gravest threat to contemporary democratic society post-2016.
