Deficit

In "Deficit," Danish feminist Emma Holten challenges the traditional economic narrative that has long overlooked the importance of care work, often dismissed as 'women's work.' She examines how this neglect has led to significant societal issues, such as failing public services and strained care systems. Holten argues that seemingly minor daily actions—like helping a child with homework or checking in on friends—are, in fact, vital components of a robust economy. This thought-provoking audiobook calls for a reassessment of care's economic value to create a healthier, happier future.
