video interview
Clara Mattei is an economist who wants us to rethink the idea that #capitalism is simply the natural order of things.
She is an author and professor of #economics whose work explores how economic ideas become tools of #power, shaping #policy while masking the political decisions beneath.
Her new book, Escape from Capitalism, argues that many of the problems that we see as inevitable - #poverty, #unemployment, #inflation - are built into the system and shored up by models and theories designed to convince us that there is no alternative.
