Résumé : ''One of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century. Emma Holten is going to change the world and you better get on board now . . . This book will make everything make sense. It''s the book about capitalism we didn''t know we needed'' - Sofie Hagen ''Why is it that we are so rich, yet feel so terrible? How have we reached a moment where we are at the very pinnacle of wealth and technological progress, but our care systems are crumbling and people are dying on the streets?'' In Deficit , Emma Holten traces (via witch trials, midwives and the treatment of Britney Spears) how economists - from the Enlightenment onwards - created a value framework that looked down on women and care work. Unable to assign value to acts of care, these acts have, by default, been assigned a value of zero. And this has horrible consequences for all of us, trapped in a world where our perceived value is linked - at political and societal levels - to our economic productivity, above all else.
