DESCRIPTION:\n\nFor our December meeting we are reading the first half (through chapter 
 2) of The Feminist Subversion of the Economy. (Common Notions Press, 
 Amazon). For our January, 2024 meeting we will read the remainder.\nThe 
 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.\nAt 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.\nPublic intellectual, academic, and activist Amaia Pérez 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.\nNewly 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.\nStrike Debt Bay Area hosts this 
 non-technical book group discussion monthly on new and radical economic 
 thinking. Previous readings have included Doughnut 
 Economics, Limits, Banking on the People, Capital and Its 
 Discontents, How to Be an Anti-Capitalist in the 21st Century, The 
 Deficit Myth,  Revenge Capitalism, the Edge of Chaos blog symposium 
 , Re-enchanting the World: Feminism and the Politics of the Commons, The 
 Optimist’s Telescope, Mission Economy: A Moonshot Guide to Changing 
 Capitalism, Exploring Degrowth, The Origin of Wealth, Mine!, The Dawn 
 of Everything  A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things, Beyond 
 Money, Less is More,  Cannibal Capitalism,  Debt, the First 5000 Years 
 , Poverty, By America, End Times, and Jackson Rising Redux.\n\n
