Episode Details

Today, as capitalism takes ever more volatile, dangerous, destructive, environmentally devastating, unequal, racist, mysogynist, exploitative, and war-like dimensions, there has been renewed critique and, inevitably, it comes from many directions. In this Geopolitical Economy Hour, Radhika, who is among these critics, is joined by a prominent representative of a different tradition of critique, someone who has spoken about escaping from capitalism, underlined its fundamentally anti democratic character, insisted on its fascistic tendencies, and criticized the fairy tales of neoclassical economics that are decreasingly able to camouflage the ills of capitalism, Clara Mattei, author of The Capital Order and Escape from Capitalism, President of the Foundation for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE) and Professor of Economics at the University of Oklahoma, Tulsa.
