This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there’s no alternative to capitalism. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful. It doesn’t have to be this way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn her bold, ground-breaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system. She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they’re weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features – justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn’t inevitable, scientific, or natural – it's a relatively young system that \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e be replaced. Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, \u003ci\u003eEscape from Capitalism\u003c\/i\u003e calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54766095270262,"sku":"9780241742181","price":17.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37709993_5d538636-14f0-463b-a83f-9d0c8362a89c.jpg?v=1762421122","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780241742181-anticapitalism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
