Summary
<p>Emma Holten is an economist from Denmark who has written the book Deficit: How Feminist Economics Can Change Our World. Holten details how much of what we consider ‘the economy’ is really underpinned by care of various kinds, mostly done by women. This is very much in line with my own interests around GDP and austerity, as I think our prevailing economic analysis devalues the unseen and leads to policies which hurt people, hurting the economy too. Emma and I had an excellent chat that I think was one of my best on this podcast, I hope you all enjoy it!</p><br /><p>Originally recorded on May 20, 2025.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
