Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? A Story About Women And Economics by Katrine Marçal
A Story About Women and Economics
This thought-provoking book challenges the traditional narratives of economics by exploring the often-overlooked role of women in economic history. It questions the foundational assumptions of economic theory, particularly the notion of the "rational economic man," by highlighting the invisible labor performed by women, such as caregiving and household management, which has historically been undervalued or ignored. Through a blend of historical analysis and contemporary critique, the book argues for a more inclusive understanding of economics that recognizes the contributions of women and redefines what is considered valuable work in society.
