Capitalism Is a System Wide Failure to Invest in Social Reproduction

Capital is structurally prime to try to avoid paying the replacement costs of the inputs that it utilizes in the process of production, including immaterial production. So we know that housework has overwhelmingly been unpaid and underpaid paid less than the cost of reproducing the woman who performs it. Capital doesn't want to pay its workers enough to allow them to pay a decent wage for personal housework or child care. Soso: This is a case of of just eating into the bone of something. It can go so far, under certain conditions, that you actually endanger society's capacity to reproduce itself.
