Book Club for Capitalism Reading Group
Escape from Capitalism: An Intervention by Clara E. Mattei

Capitalism reading group is a book club that wants to understand the system we all live in. To think about how that system controls our desires, motivations and the world around us. Led by Austin Furnas of Boxing Day Cafe and community member Dena Verhoff in association with Picture Book and HudCo in Dobbs Ferry, New York.

About the Book:

Capitalism isn’t inevitable, scientific, or natural—it's a relatively young system that can be replaced. In this radical rethinking of economics, Clara Mattei argues that enduring problems such as poverty, unemployment, and inflation are not bugs in the economy but core features. They are justified with pseudoscientific models, fabrications built to support a capitalist economy that unfairly rewards people with the most resources.

If you're buying new, support your local book stores. In-stock at Picture Book (Dobbs Ferry) and available as an audiobook from B-Corp Libro.fm
