Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?
Book • 2016
Katrine Marçal's "Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?
A Counter-History of Food" explores the hidden role of women's unpaid labor in shaping economic theories and systems.
The book challenges traditional economic narratives by highlighting the significant contributions of women's domestic work, often overlooked in mainstream economic thought.
Marçal argues that understanding this hidden labor is crucial for a more accurate and equitable understanding of economic history and current systems.
She connects the historical invisibility of women's work to the ongoing gender pay gap and other inequalities.
The book ultimately calls for a re-evaluation of economic models to account for the true value of women's contributions.
