On International Women’s Day 2023,
Giuseppe Porcaro is joined by
Nancy Folbre, one of the pioneering economists in the area of feminist economics.
Together they discuss the findings published in Folbre’s latest book
The rise and decline of patriarchal systems, where she examined the contradictory effects of capitalist development. She explains why the work of caring for others is under-valued and under-rewarded in today's global economy, calling attention to the organisation of childrearing, the care of other dependants and the inheritance of assets.
