Event Video (Sun, Nov 16, 2025): We Will Not Pay For Their Crisis! A Conversation with Clara Mattei

Speak Out Socialists Public Meetings

Clara Mattei will join us online discuss how the chaos of Trump’s policies serve as a cover for the increase of wealth being transferred from the working class to the rich. Government services that have provided access to medical care, food, and education are being eliminated while huge amounts of wealth are being transferred to the rich through large tax breaks, vast military spending, and direct support to corporations.

Clara E. Mattei is a Professor of Economics at The University of Tulsa and the President of FREE (Forum for Real Economic Emancipation). Her most recent book is The Capital Order: How Economists Invented Austerity and Paved the Way to Fascism.

Join us for a presentation and discussion.
