This innovative collection explores the profound power of Social Reproduction Theory to deepen our understanding of everyday life under capitalism. While many Marxists focus on the productive economy, this book addresses issues such as child care, healthcare, education, family life, and the roles of gender, race, and sexuality, all of which are central to understanding the relationship between economic exploitation and social oppression.
In this book, leading authors such as Lise Vogel, Nancy Fraser, David McNally, and Susan Ferguson reveal the ways in which everyday and generational reproductive labor, found in households, schools, hospitals, and prisons, also supports the pursuit of cumulative profitability.
Providing a more sophisticated alternative to the intersectional approach, these essays offer insights with significant strategic implications for anti-capitalists, anti-racists, and feminists seeking to navigate the seemingly increasingly complex world we live in.
