Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? A Story About Women and Economics by Katrine Marçal

3.0

This book is accessible, informative, and a challenge to the traditional economics I was more used to hearing about (though I am no means an expert in economics). Marçal does a great job of explaining theories and questioning gendered constructs and neoliberal capitalism. However, for the most part she treats "men" and "women" as homogeneous(ish) groups, which makes some of her critique fall flat. A more intersectional approach would have made this book more impactful and more realistic. Still, it's very well done for what it is and it's worth the read.
