The formation of its research agenda, the kind of research conducted there, and the influence of feminist economics and radical economics on each other and on IWPR’s research, are discussed, focusing on the importance of both paid and unpaid economic activities by women. IWPR’s work is illustrated by the examples of the wage gap, family leave, and state-based studies. The essay ends with commentary on how social movements can work toward an egalitarian social democracy and economy that meets human needs.

The Troika, inspired by the book After the Washington Consensus, and with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) acting in a leading role, embraced austerity in their disbursement of funds. The imposed conditionalities induced a deep recession, created an unfathomable challenge for Greece to meet the conditionalities year after year, and resulted in a sequence of failed adjustment programs, one after the other. Scholars, students, and policymakers of the global financial crisis and international development will benefit from these findings because the subject is of current interest and uses Greece as a case study to speak to the ongoing debates about the imposed recession as an antidote to the global financial crisis.

Institutions of the European Union helped Greece turn to debt-driven accumulation to sustain growth, especially the external debt of government, but the weak productive accumulation because of relatively low profit rate made the accumulation of debt unsustainable in the long run. When doubt was cast on Greece’s capacity to repay its debts, the economy lost external sources of funding, leading to a halt in debt expansion and the burst of the sovereign debt crisis.

This assumption cannot hold in the contemporary regime of non-commodity money. It is essential to resolve the question of how the MELT is determined in a system of non-commodity money. The expression is the ratio of the total paper money circulating in the economy, less all paper money advanced on constant capital, to the total number of socially necessary labor hours exerted in the economy. Expressed algebraically, m = (Mv − C)/L. This model differs from those proposed by Moseley; Saros; Rieu, Lee, and Ahn; and Foley.

{"title":"Book Review: The Care Crisis: What Caused It and How Can We End It?","authors":"Daniel Hinze","doi":"10.1177/04866134221142084","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/04866134221142084","url":null,"abstract":"This book examines the state of the British health and social care system in the age of fiscal austerity. In her kaleidoscopic analysis, Dowling situates the decline of care within the larger context of the even further neoliberal reorientation of the UK government after the 2008 financial crisis. The author paints a vivid picture, replete with a plethora of statistics of the deteriorating state of UK public care. Dowling chronicles the long-standing commitment by successive UK governments of all stripes to increase the role of private business in the care sector on the unproven assumption that the profit motive would improve efficiency and quality beyond what government managers could achieve. Oftentimes private business has indeed achieved cost reductions—although not through better management but through reductions in the number of workers and a more thorough exploitation of the remaining labor force, leading to a reduction in the quality of care, overworked and underpaid staff, and, consequently, recruitment problems. The discussion of UK public care is set in the context of care as an affective, personal relationship between caregiver and care recipient and the class, gender, and racial dimensions of care work. In the United Kingdom, the privatization of large parts of the social care system in particular has led to deteriorating working conditions and precarity for care workers—mainly women and minorities—with low pay and zero-hour contracts. Care in all its manifestations is essential for the social reproduction of (capitalist) society. Within the family it is unseen, unremunerated, and still predominantly women’s responsibility, unless child care and household maintenance are “outsourced.” Then it tends to become the underpaid task of minority and poor women, who also predominate in the home care and care home sector. For Dowling, “ending the care crisis will require a profound shift in mentalities.. . . It does mean giving care a prominent place as a structural condition of our lives.. . . Some kind of ‘we’ built on inclusive solidarity is necessary to achieve change” (206).
