Grace Blakeley
Grace Blakeley is an author, columnist, journalist and economics and politics commentator. She is a staff writer for Tribune and was previously the economics commentator of the New Statesman, whilst also contributing to Novara Media.
As the New Statesman's economic commentator, her articles for the magazine included support for Lexit and a New Green Deal. Grace identifies as a democratic socialist and supports the use of capitalist controls, opposes financial globalisation and is critical of international and EU law.
Her first book, Stolen: How To Save the World from Financialisation, argues that the recovery from the 2007-8 credit crunch mainly benefited the 1%, and that a shift to democratic socialism is urgently needed to resolve mounting inequality and the domination of finance capital. While her 2020 book, The Corona Crash, theorises about the epoch-making changes that the coronavirus brings in its wake.
Her recent book is titled Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts and the Death of Freedom.
