Capitalism Hits Home with Dr. Harriet Fraad

• Social Reproduction Theory Illuminates the Issues of Our Time

  There has been an extensive study of workers and the commodities they produce. When it comes to who produces those workers, or who produces people, gives birth to them, raises them, and socializes them, there is a lot less material that examines that type of work. Social Reproduction Theory examines the aspects of capitalism and bridges the gap between feminism and Marxism by incorporating variables such as race and gender. In this week’s episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad provides her insights on the latter, as part of Social Reproduction Theory.    Learn more about CHH:   We make it a point to provide the show free of ads.
