Magic City Books is thrilled to welcome Clara E. Mattei for a free in-store event on Tuesday, January 27 to celebrate her new book, Escape From Capitalism.
For fans of Bernie Sanders and Thomas Piketty, Escape From Capitalism is an urgent intervention against capitalism revealing how economic models serve the extremely wealthy and powerful at the expense of ordinary people—and how we can reclaim our power to make choices about our economic lives.
Clara will be in conversation with colleagues Mathilde Chevaillier and Jenna Wyrd.
Escape From Capitalism will release on January 27, 2026, and you can purchase a copy through Magic City Books.
