There's a dirty secret in economics says Danish writer Emma Holten. We just don't know how to account for all the time and effort it takes to keep people healthy, happy and alive.
Holten exposes a fundamental flaw in our value and economic systems that were designed centuries ago to overlook care work, often dismissed as "women's work." In her new book she reveals why measuring someone's value to the economy in dollars and cents alone ends up costing us all. It's called Deficit: How Feminist Economics Can Change Our World.
