- **Event Description**: Join Clara E. Mattei in conversation for the launch of Escape from Capitalism, a new book that challenges the neutrality of economics.About this EventThis event is organised by the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (UCL IIPP).  will be available to buy in-person on the day, or .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 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.Meet the panel:Chair: Carolina Alves, Associate Professor of Economics at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) at UCLClara E. Mattei, Professor of Economics at The University of Tulsa and the President of : Forum for Real Economic EmancipationIf you have any queries around access, please get in touch with a member of the team (IIPPComms@ucl.ac.uk).
