Escape from Capitalism: An Intervention is a 2026 economics and political economy book by Clara E. Mattei that challenges the idea that capitalism is natural, inevitable, or scientifically neutral. Drawing on history, institutional analysis, and critique of orthodox economics, the book argues that many widely accepted economic policies are not objective necessities but political choices that protect wealth and preserve market dependence. Mattei focuses on how concepts such as austerity, inflation control, unemployment, balanced budgets, and central bank power are used to justify inequality and restrict democratic control over economic life. Rather than treating poverty and joblessness as unfortunate side effects, she presents them as structural outcomes of a system designed to benefit owners and creditors. The book is written as a direct intervention in contemporary debates about economic democracy, socialism, and the limits of technocratic policymaking.
