I was about to rant about how #amazon could let you search for, filter, and sort products by cost per unit of weight, but doesn't, because they're assholes

video interview
Clara Mattei is an economist who wants us to rethink the idea that #capitalism is simply the natural order of things.
She is an author and professor of #economics whose work explores how economic ideas become tools of #power, shaping #policy while masking the political decisions beneath.
Her new book, Escape from Capitalism, argues that many of the problems that we see as inevitable - #poverty, #unemployment, #inflation - are built into the system and shored up by models and theories designed to convince us that there is no alternative.
