Summary
Capitalism isn't in crisis. It is the crisis. Rising inequalities. Endless austerity. Genocide. Permanent war. Climate collapse. AI-driven job losses. For best-selling author and economist Clara Mattei, these aren't failures of capitalism—they're the system working exactly as designed. This week on The Tea, Mattei joins us to challenge one of the most powerful assumptions of our time: that there is no alternative. Drawing from her new book, Escape from Capitalism, Mattei argues that capitalism isn't natural or inevitable. It has always depended on political intervention, economic precarity, and the violent suppression of alternatives to keep itself alive. If today's crises feel permanent, this is because they're built into the model. Also in the show: ⚡ BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street & the concentration of global wealth ⚡ Billionaires' growing obsession with land grabbing ⚡ China's hybrid model explained ⚡ Militarism - The beating heart of capitalism ⚡ Scandinavia and the myth of "humane capitalism" ⚡ Palestine as a lens on how austerity, militarisation, and state power converge ⚡ AI, automation & the loss of control ⚡ What would it take to build a better economic system? If capitalism is functioning exactly as intended, the question isn't how to fix it—but how we can get out of this trap and build a better system. 👉 Subscribe for fearless, independent conversations. 🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts. #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #ClaraMattei #Capitalism #Inequality #Economics #news #AI #UKPolitics #USPolitics #Billionaires #genocide Check out the Forum for Real Economic Emancipation (FREE) https://www.freefreeforum.org/about Head here to check the FREE podcast https://www.youtube.com/@UCimEsFacMz1lz6m6_MFgnmg AUDIO CREDITS Presenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam…
