Intersectional Political Economy
Nancy Folbre (Professor Emerita @UMass.Amherst) unpacks the complex layers of social and economic inequality, advocating for a deeper understanding of intersectionality in economics. She examines how different forms of inequality-such as class, gender, and race-intersect and overlap, creating a multifaceted picture of disadvantage and privilege. Folbre's work challenges traditional economic models by highlighting the need for a more holistic and inclusive approach to understanding disparities, ultimately calling for political and economic systems that address these complexities head-on.

Moving toward A BETTER SET OF RULES for the global economy. "We want: 1) fair play, 2) sustainable relationships, 3) the ability to solve collective coordination problems, and 4) a larger set of ideals about how we manage our relationship with the natural world." Also, "the need to value unpaid labor and the emerging care economy which is the production, development, and the maintenance of human capabilities."
Great!
Western economics needs to learn from native people's historical cultural and economic ideas and methods. Where relationships between humans, and between humans and nature, are primary. I strongly recommend reading "Indigenous Economics: Sustaining Peoples and Their Lands" by Ronald L. Trosper to learn alternative approaches to decision-making, resource allocation, and cooperation.
Sounds good to me.
Oh dear 😞

@wangzijie9240 yes. Everyone is to sorry degree. That's kinda the point of nation wide income inequality. It effects all classes
Marx never said labour is granted or a naturally given factor.... May be Marx was just trying to explain the concepts of Ricardo and Adam Smith....
Why don't western economists understand Marx well enough? Is there something to lose for them also,, if they try to understand Marx better?
