The book is Adam Smith: An Enlightened Life. You're referring to the review's title. It's customary for editors to give witty titles to reviews. But can we please talk about the content instead?

it's a pun on Marx's book title, Das Kapital

I'm aware of the pun. I consider it a bad one.

its wrong though, it would have to be Der Kapitalist to be a pun on it.

Yes. So it's even more funny. It allows us to laugh about those mono-lingual English speakers.

Funny how those who pointed out that the pun is a bad one and gramatically wrong received downvotes...
