The Capital Order

4.5 Stars. Extremely well written and well researched - books like this normally are dry, yet Mattei's writing is clear and invigorating. I learned a lot about economic Austerity, and Italian and British history in the interwar period. So many footnotes.

Recommended to anyone looking for a book about Austerity.

Sound premise but repetitive and very academic in tone so a bit of a slog.
