AUSTERITY: A WEAPON TO DISCIPLINE THE PUBLIC? - with Dr. Clara Mattei

Max and Nafkote interview the brilliant Dr. Clara Mattei on the
history of austerity and how it was created to maintain “the
capital order”.


Austerity today the world over remains a favored tool of
policymakers. And yet it is far more than just a policy. We
examine the roots of austerity and its fundamental role in
entrenching capital, and disciplining people to never dare to
create alternative economic systems.


Dr. Clara Mattei is Associate Professor of Economics at the New
School for Social Research. She is the author of The Capital
Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved The Way to
Fascism.
