The political response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the pressures
on the global capitalist economies has, once again, imposed the
priority of markets over life. Add to this the climate crisis and,
undoubtedly, the task of sustaining life continues to be
privatized, made invisible, and feminized. We must ask: what does a
dignified life look like, especially one that transforms the
gendered labor divisions and a racialized, exploitative feminized
care economy that falls mainly on the shoulders of women-from the
household to the wider effects of the capitalist economy on social
reproduction. At the same time, these questions are intimately
connected with considerations of our environment. The Feminist
Subversion of the Economy makes the conection between patriarchy,
capitalism, and ecological crisis-and rallies women, the LGBTQ+
community, and movements worldwide to center gender and social
reproduction in a vision for a just ecology and economy. Public
intellectual, academic, and activist Amaia Perez Orozco offers a
vision beyond the myths of development (unlimited growth), wealth
(accumulation of capital), and work (limited to waged labor) and,
at the same time, accounts for the tasks, networks, and economic
subjects that, materially and daily, guarantee that life keeps
going. Newly translated and updated in collaboration with Liz
Mason-Desse, who has won a PEN translation award for her work on
feminist economics, The Feminist Subversion of the Economy shows
the urgent need to radically and democratically discuss what we
mean by a dignified life and how we can organize to sustain life
collectively.
