But its fate in the economy is precarious and uncertain. The labour of care is arduous and underpaid. Yet without it, health and vitality are impossible. Care itself ends up leading a curious dual life. In our hearts, it’s honoured as an irreducible good. But in the market, it’s treated as a second-class citizen—barely recognised in the relentless rush for productivity and wealth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHow did we arrive in this dysfunctional place? And what can we do to change things? What would it mean to take health seriously as a societal goal? What would it take to adopt care as an organising principle in the economy?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned ecological economist Tim Jackson sets out to tackle these questions in this timely and deeply personal book. His journey travels through the history of medicine, the economics of capitalism, and the philosophical underpinnings of health. He unpacks the gender politics of care, revisits the birthplace of a universal dream, and confronts the demons that prevent us from realising it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIrreverent, insightful, and profoundly inquisitive, \u003ci\u003eThe Care Economy\u003c\/i\u003e offers a bold and accessible manifesto for a healthier and more humane society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlso available as an audiobook, narrated by the author.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853549981932,"sku":"9781509554294","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/12565193482725.jpg?v=1759208181","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-care-economy-by-tim-jackson-9781509554294","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
