Stolen — Financialisation, Power, and the Hidden Logic of Capitalism (Creators Series)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time. This Creators Series episode explores Stolen: How to Save the World from Financialisation by Grace Blakeley, a systems-level critique of modern capitalism and the limits of mainstream economics. Rather than treating capitalism as a neutral system of markets and competition, Stolen argues that contemporary capitalism is defined by financialisation — the growing dominance of finance, asset ownership, and rent extraction over productive activity. Blakeley draws on Karl Marx not to rehearse ideology, but to revive a critique of political economy that exposes how power operates inside production, ownership, and class relations. This episode examines why economics often treats firms as black boxes, how capital functions as a social relation, and why focusing only on exchange obscures the real drivers of inequality, instability, and political capture. It also explores how these ideas circulate — and are contested — within today’s algorithm-driven media environment. 🎬 Watch the Mini Explainer for a short visual overview: 👉    • Stolen Explained — Why Capitalism Isn’t Ju...   🎧 Prefer audio?
