Une interview menée par Adrien de Tricornot.
What does the financialization of housing, weakened pension rights, and land grabbing have in common with 2020's post-pandemic crisis? David Harvey explains how these are all results of the increased tendency of accumulation by dispossession, where profits today are mostly generated by dispossession after a crisis and not by production. Will governments in every part of the world be able to prevent that pattern from happening again in the near future?
Due to the economic crisis of 2008/2009, households faced drastic decreases in their incomes, the availability of jobs. Additionally, the structure of the labour market changed, while austerity measures and public spending cuts left households with less support and safeguards provided by the state. How have these developments affected the burden of unpaid labour and what influence did this have on gender relations?
This text provides an overview of feminist perspectives on various kinds of work and reproductive labour. The authors start at the intersection of Marxism and Feminism. They, then, give a historical background on the United States feminist movement. They, finally, provide alternative perspectives on work and reproductive labor that are not based on Marxist Feminist theory.
