Book Launch: Escape from Capitalism | by UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose in London

Join Clara E. Mattei in conversation for the launch of Escape from Capitalism, a new book that challenges the neutrality of economics. This event is organised by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (UCL IIPP). Explore more IIPP events here. Escape from Capitalism will be available to buy in-person on the day, or pre-order here. About this talk: Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. Clara E. Mattei’s urgent new book exposes its true role: to convince us there’s no alternative to capitalism. We 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. In 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. Why should we accept this? This joint event is hosted by IIPP and the UCL Centre for Capitalism Studies, a hub for critical, interdisciplinary research on capitalism’s past, present, and future, with a focus on examining how markets, finance, and economic institutions shape everyday life, condition societies’ capacity for transformation, and are continually challenged, reconfigured, and remade across time and space. The book launch will also serve as an enrichment lecture for IIPP’s Rethinking Capitalism programme, delivered since 2019. This year, the programme explores what capitalism is and how it came to be, before turning to key contemporary policy challenges in its second half. The module bridges economics with disciplines such as history, anthropology, political science, and geography, pairing economists’ lectures with insights from across the social sciences.
