Why do patriarchal systems survive?

On International Women’s Day 2023, Giuseppe Porcaro is joined by
Nancy Folbre, one of the pioneering economists in the area of
feminist economics. 

Together they discuss the findings published in Folbre’s latest
book The rise and decline of patriarchal systems, where she
examined the contradictory effects of capitalist development. She
explains why the work of caring for others is under-valued and
under-rewarded in today's global economy, calling attention to
the organisation of childrearing, the care of other dependants
and the inheritance of assets.
