Adam Smith, the founder of modern economics, believed that our
actions stem from self-interest and the world turns because of
financial gain. But every night Adam Smith's mother served him his
dinner, not out of self-interest but out of love.Today, economics
focuses on self-interest and excludes our other motivations. It
disregards the unpaid work of mothering, caring, cleaning and
cooking and its influence has spread from the market to how we
shop, think and date. In this engaging takedown of the economics
that has failed us, Katrine Marcal journeys from Adam Smith's
dinner table to the recent financial crisis and shows us how
different, how much better, things could be.
