A must-read' - Kate Raworth, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICSHow can we create a better future – one that truly prioritises health and happiness?For too long, economic thinkers have left out acts of care - written off as 'women's work' for centuries - from their calculations. The result? Terrible real-world consequences today: crumbling public services, struggling schools and care systems on the brink of collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Deficit, prominent Danish feminist Emma Holten reveals how and why this happened, and argues that the things that matter – doing homework with your child, checking in on loved ones, talking to acolleague who doesn’t seem well – might seem inconsequential, but are in fact the building blocks of the economy.
