Escape from Capitalism

Clara E. Mattei examines capitalism as a historically constructed system rather than a natural one. She argues that poverty, unemployment, and inflation are not accidental side effects, but recurring outcomes shaped by economic theories and institutions that advantage those with greater resources.

The book presents a critical view of monetary policy, budget cuts, and tax policy, questioning the idea that these are neutral tools. It will appeal to readers interested in economics, inequality, and the relationship between financial decision-making and democratic control.
