SUMMARY:Clara Mattei: The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism
DESCRIPTION:“In The Capital Order\, political economist Clara E. Mattei explores the intellectual origins of austerity to uncover its originating motives: the protection of capital—and indeed capitalism—in times of social upheaval from below. \nMattei traces modern austerity to its origins in interwar Britain and Italy\, revealing how the threat of working-class power in the years after World War I animated a set of top-down economic policies that elevated owners\, smothered workers\, and imposed a rigid economic hierarchy across their societies. Where these policies “succeeded\,” relatively speaking\, was in their enrichment of certain parties\, including employers and foreign trade interests\, who accumulated power and capital at the expense of labor. Here\, Mattei argues\, is where the true value of austerity can be observed: its insulation of entrenched privilege and its elimination of all alternatives to capitalism.”
