In this groundbreaking exploration of feminist theory, Nancy Folbre delves into the intricate and paradoxical effects of capitalist development. She sheds light on the undervaluation and underappreciation of the work of caring for others within the current global economy, drawing attention to the organization of child-rearing, the care of dependents, and the inheritance of assets. Folbre challenges traditional notions of the economy, which solely focus on the market, by emphasizing the production of human capabilities within families and communities and the social reproduction of group solidarities. By highlighting the complexity of hierarchical systems and their profound implications for political coalitions, The Rise and Decline of Patriarchal Systems establishes a groundbreaking feminist agenda for the twenty-first century.
