The Invisible Heart: Economics and Family Values
ISBN: 9781565847477 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There has been much talk about family values in recent years, but little examination of the economic forces that are exploding family life and limiting the caregiving that families can provide. As Folbre points out in her provocative and insightful new book, every society must confront the problem of balancing self-interested pursuits with care for others including children, the elderly, and the infirm. Historically, most societies enjoyed an increased supply of care by maintaining strict limits on women s freedom. But as these limits happily and inevitably give way, there are many...

ISBN: 9780415075640 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Three paradoxes surround the division of the costs of social reproduction:
* Women have entered the paid labour force in growing numbers, but they continue to perform most of the unpaid labour of housework and childcare. * Birth rates have fallen but more and more mothers are supporting children on their own, with little or no assistance from fathers. * The growth of state spending is often blamed on malfunctioning markets, or runaway bureaucracies. But a large percentage of social spending provides substitutes for income transfers that once took place within families. Who...

Valuing Children: Rethinking the Economics of the Family
ISBN: 9780674047273 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Nancy Folbre challenges the conventional economist's assumption that parents have children for the same reason that they acquire pets--primarily for the pleasure of their company. Children become the workers and taxpayers of the next generation, and "investments" in them offer a significant payback to other participants in the economy. Yet parents, especially mothers, pay most of the costs. The high price of childrearing pushes many families into poverty, often with adverse consequences for children themselves. Parents spend time as well as money on children. Yet most estimates...

Warm Hands in Cold Age: Gender and Aging
ISBN: 9780415415590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Public discussion of population aging usually focuses on the financial burden that increasingly elderly populations will impose on younger generations. Scholars give much less attention to who does the actual work of day-to-day care for those no longer able to care for themselves; and although women are the majority among the elderly, little is heard about gender differences in economic resources or the need for care. This volume is dedicated to giving gender - and a full range of social and cultural differences - their rightful place in these discussions. The authors address, amongst...

Saving State U: Why We Must Fix Public Higher Education
ISBN: 9781595580658 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Once upon a time, students who were willing and able to work hard could obtain an affordable, high-quality education at a public university. Those times are gone. Intensified admissions competition coupled with opposition to public spending has scorched every campus. Budget cuts, tuition hikes, and debt burdens are undermining the best path to upward mobility that this country ever built. But despite all of this, Americans still embrace ideals of equal opportunity and know that higher education represents a public good. Students, faculty, staff, and advocates are beginning to build...

Greed, Lust and Gender: A History of Economic Ideas
ISBN: 9780199238422 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) When does the pursuit of self-interest go too far, lapsing into morally unacceptable behavior? Until the unprecedented events of the recent global financial crisis economists often seemed unconcerned with this question, even suggesting that "greed is good." A closer look, however, suggests that greed and lust are generally considered good only for men, and then only outside the realm of family life. The history of Western economic ideas shows that men have given themselves more cultural permission than women for the pursuit of both economic and sexual self-interest. Feminists have long...
