Folbre Discusses Feminist Economic Policy on "How to Save a Country"

Content

Nancy Folbre, professor emerita economics and PERI, was a guest on The New Republic podcast "How to Save a Country." The discussion focused on how feminist economics challenges traditional assumptions of classical economics – including consideration of care work as part of the broader economy. 

"The care economy is about the production and the development and also the maintenance of human capabilities. This doesn't factor into the GDP," notes Folbre.
