La economía centrada en el cuidado

La economía se ha convertido en una especie de ciencia de referencia de la que muchas personas toman su visión de lo que es " normal" y "correcto" en la valoración de las relaciones y las actividades. Sin embargo, en la ciencia económica actual, esas actividades que se realizan en los hogares para satisfacer las necesidades no se estudian o se estudian de manera marginal y a menudo están distorsionadas. ¿Cuáles son las consecuencias de esta omisión?

La teóloga Ina Praetorius responde a esta pregunta en su ensayo "La economía centrada en el cuidado -Redescubriendo lo que se ha dado por sentado” llevando a los/las lectores/as a un viaje intelectual a través de la historia occidental de las ideas y demuestra cómo un orden dicotómico desigual está profundamente arraigado en la forma en que la economía y la sociedad están hoy organizadas.
