In "Who Cooked Adam Smith’s Dinner?", the author examines the concept of the "economic man," originating from Adam Smith's assertion that self-interest drives our actions. This analysis critiques the traditional economic narrative that marginalizes the value of unpaid labor, particularly the roles women play in caregiving and domestic work. By tracing the evolution of this myth—from its roots in Smith's own household to its adaptations in modern economics and its consequences, like the 2008 financial crisis—this audiobook offers a thought-provoking and humorous critique of prevailing economic theories and calls for a reevaluation of women's contributions.
