The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics

0 - Default Title
Description
This powerful book proposes that we need a radical reformulation of economics, one that supports caring and caregiving at the individual, organizational, societal, and environmental levels. This "caring economics" takes into account the full spectrum of economic activities - from the life-sustaining activities of the household, to the life-enriching activities of caregivers and communities of all types, to the life-supporting processes of nature.Eisler exposes the economic double standard that devalues anything stereotypically associated with women and femininity - and how this distorts our values and our lives. She reveals how the current economics are based on a deep-seated culture of domination and shows how human needs would be better met if economics were based on caring. And she provides practical proposals for new economic inventions - new measures, policies, rules, and practices - to bring about a caring economics that meets human needs.
