.@katrinemarcal speaking on Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?: A story about #women & #economics at @Lse #LSEMarcal pic.twitter.com/Ufxg12nHSZ
Women in economics face discrimination and sexism - #lsemarcal
"When I interviewed the economist Eugene Fama, he asked me who came up with my questions" @katrinemarcal on #women & #economics #LSEMarcal- "There's an invisible hand - the invisible heart (care love altruism) - which underpins our economy" @katrinemarcal on #economics #LSEMarcal
@katrinemarcal talks about the need to study the invisible heart, not just the invisible hand, in economics at #LSEMarcal- Women on average do more unpaid care work than men - this is closely linked to gender pay gap #lsemarcal @katrinemarcal
- We value care work less than other types of work - meaning it is a low paid profession #lsemarcal @katrinemarcal
Enough "invisible hand"! Time to account for the value of the "invisible heart" in women's unpaid work #lsemarcal- The gender pay gap is much wider as you go higher up the income scale #inequality #LSEMarcal
- "Economics is a kind of religion of our time. It tells us how to behave. And this matters to our life" @katrinemarcal #LSEMarcal
.@katrinemarcal: unpaid childcare value to the UK economy is 3x the value of financial services. #LSEMarcal
I think it's actually Box-Sets "@saskiavogel: Is economics the biggest religion of our time? #lsemarcal”
If economics is a story, who is the main character? Economic man, but he doesn't exist. Only 5yr olds act like him. #lsemarcal- "The only people who behave like Economic Man under test conditions are 5yr old children" @katrinemarcal on #women & #economics #LSEMarcal
- Economic man is a seductive character: rational selfish independent competitive detached alone powerful. So christian grey. #lsemarcal
- Not a coincidence that everything economic models ignore are what have traditionally been characterised female - it's patriarchy #lsemarcal
- @katrinemarcal says in economics, women have the option of being a natural resource, product, or economic man #LSEMarcal
- Women only an add-on to economic theory. No wonder we go from crisis to crisis @katrinemarcal #lsemarcal
Appreciating how unashamedly feminist this lecture is. A refreshing voice in malestream economics. #homoecoNOmicus #lseMarcal- .@katrinemarcal "you can't just add women and stir" to the world of economic man - what can be said abt women within this theory? #LSEMarcal
- Global care chains and migration caused by women needing to act like the economic man #lsemarcal
- the links between austerity and care work need to be made clear to politicians. Cut public services and you shift costs to women #lsemarcal
- .@katrinemarcal: Yoga, lifehacking and time management will not save women in a world designed for economic man #LSEMarcal
- "Men are not naturally like Economic Man, they are just expected to be like him" @katrinemarcal on the problem with #economics #LSEMarcal
- The question of women and economics goes deeper than who is on the Board - it's a whole value system @katrinemarcal #lsemarcal #patriarchy
