The date here is off by about a decade. Credible bibliographic sources list the original edition of The Phantom Capitalists as a 1981 publication, not a 1970s book.

• Routledge’s page for the later edition says the work was "Originally published in the 1980s" and includes a review blurb stating the book was "as fresh as it was in 1981."
• Open Library’s catalog entry for the original edition lists "Publish Date 1981" for The phantom capitalists: the organisation and control of long-firm fraud.

The article may be conflating the book with the author’s mid-1970s doctoral research, but the book itself was published in 1981.
