Legal Corruption: How Power Really Works | Camila Vergara & Clara Mattei

Corruption isn’t a scandal, it’s the law. Economist Clara Mattei and political theorist Camila Vergara expose how our democracy is designed to protect the wealthy. The constitution itself sets the rules of the game, rules that funnel power upward, reproduce inequality, and leave people powerless. This is legal corruption: not against the law, but because of the law. From elections that don’t change power to laws that put profit over people, they show why inequality isn’t an accident, it’s intentional. 👉 If you’ve ever wondered why democracy feels broken, why the 1% keeps winning, and why real change feels impossible, this conversation makes it clear. Topics we cover: What “systemic corruption” really means Why elections deepen inequality instead of fixing it How the constitution was designed to keep people from power Why democracy in practice is an oligarchic democracy What breaking the narrative could mean for the future Clara Mattei • Camila Vergara Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE) ❤️ Subscribe for more conversations on democracy, justice, and economic emancipation:    / @freefreeforum   📌 Watch, share, and join the FREE Forum: https://freefreeforum.org 🌱 Support FREE & Help Us Grow: https://freefreeforum.betterworld.org... 00:00:00 - 00:01:01 - Welcome to the Podcast 00:01:52 - Discussion on Economic Inequality 00:02:29 - Introduction to Camila's Book 00:03:24 - Camila's Work and Its Relevance 00:04:07 - Understanding the Systemic Corruption 00:04:27 - Democracy and Wealth Distribution 00:05:11 - The Role of Constitution in Power Distribution 00:06:55 - The Concept of Systemic Corruption 00:07:40 - Understanding the Structural Division 00:08:13 - Discussion on the US Constitution 00:09:35 - Historical Context of the US Constitution 00:11:10 - The Rebellion and Formation of Constitution 00:13:17 - The Writing of the Constitution 00:14:16 - The Perception of Democracy 00:15:06 - The Detachment of Elected Representatives 00:16:27 - The Role of Elections and Corruption 00:19:17 - The Influence of Money in Politics 00:20:20 - Understanding Systemic Corruption and Its Impact 00:23:41 - The Role of Popular Power in Checking Oligarchy 00:24:26 - Historical Success Stories of Popular Power 00:24:37 - The Case of the Roman Republic 00:30:18 - The Law of Redistribution and Its Consequences 00:31:44 - The Case of Salvador Allende and Nationalization of Copper 00:33:54 - The Concept of Property and Its Relevance 00:34:51 - The Paradox of Property and Labor 00:35:59 - The Case of Chile and Nationalization of Copper 00:40:58 - The Case of South Africa and Land Redistribution 00:42:11 - The Push for Expropriation and Its Implications 00:44:30 - The Role of Trade Agreements in Nationalization 00:45:25 - The Concept of Genocide and Its Misuse 00:46:37 - Economic Injustice and the Global South 00:48:49 - The Forum for Real Economic Emancipation 00:49:23 - Redefining Economics and Understanding Systemic Issues 00:52:20 - The Role of Academia in Systemic Corruption 00:55:10 - The Potential of the Forum for Real Economic Emancipation 00:56:46 - The Importance of Praxis and Democratic Philosophy 00:57:30 - The Future of Free and Public Education 00:58:32 - Potential Economic Battles for Free 01:00:33 - The Importance of Assembly-Based Politics 01:01:00 - The Role of the Forum in Fostering Assembly-Based Politics 01:01:50 - The Forum as a Channel for Philanthropy 01:02:36 - Learning Political Engagement through the Forum 01:02:54 - Re-socializing in Collective Spaces 01:03:40 - Conclusion and Thanks to Camila #claramattei #podcast #systemiccorruption #campaignfinance 🎧 Listen as a Podcast Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
