Description
It is my thesis that this general production of life, or subsistence production—mainly performed through the non-wage labour of women and other non-wage labourers as slaves, contract workers, and peasants in the colonies—constitutes the perennial basis upon which "capitalist productive labour" can be built up and exploited.
First published in 1986, Maria Mies’s progressive book, Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale, was hailed as a major paradigm shift for feminist theory, and it remains a significant contribution to development theory and practice today.
Tracing the social origins of the sexual division of labour, it offers a history of the related processes of colonisation and 'housewifization' and extends this analysis to the contemporary new international division of labour. Mies's theory of capitalist patriarchy has become even more relevant today.
This new edition includes a substantial new introduction in which she both applies her theory to the new globalised world and answers her critics.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Compelling and ambitious, this work is praised for connecting patriarchy and capitalism in a way that enriches feminist and social justice movements. Experts like Deniz Kandiyoti of SOAS and Dr Vandana Shiva highlight its essential relevance to understanding economic crises and violence against women. The New Internationalist calls its vision breathtakingly bold, while Off Our Backs hails it as feminist theory at its very best.
