Book description
World Eaters: How Venture Capital is Cannibalizing the Economy - A Must-Read Eye Opener
Catherine Bracy's debut, World Eaters, delivers a brisk, no-frills exposé of venture capital's corrosive reach into every corner of modern life. Drawing on dozens of interviews-from founders and fund managers to gig-economy workers and limited partners-Bracy shows how the VC playbook is not just a private game but a public menace that erodes labor markets, housing stability, and consumer trust.
The book's strength lies in its clarity. Bracy avoids jargon, yet she never shies from exposing the hard truth: the current VC model rewards rapid growth over sustainable impact, leaving most startups without viable alternatives. Her narrative is both a warning and a call to action-highlighting that without regulatory intervention, investors will continue treating the economy like a high-stakes roulette table.
For readers of Winners Take All, Super Pumped, or Brotopia, World Eaters feels like an insider's guide with an outsider's caution. It peels back the glossy veneer of Silicon Valley to reveal how its values seep into healthcare, food, entertainment, and beyond, harming ordinary consumers as much as it benefits a privileged few.
In under 1500 characters, Bracy has crafted a compelling, accessible critique that will resonate with anyone concerned about the future of our economy. If you're looking for an engaging, thought-provoking read that challenges the status quo, this book is indispensable.
