The first question (discussed extensively in the first chapter) is theoretical: what is capital? Pistor argues, quite convincingly, that “capital is not a thing” but rather a legal construct (p.10). In these chapters, the author masterfully tackles a number of big questions. In Pistor’s telling, the story unfolds in nine chapters.
