Invisible Women meets Doughnut Economics- An international bestseller from an exciting new voice in the feminist space

*AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER*
WINNER OF THE POLITIKEN LITERATURE PRIZE 2024

'Brilliantly rewrites the history of economic thought to place 'her story' at its heart. A must-read' - Kate Raworth, author of DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS

How can we create a better future - one that truly prioritises health and happiness?

For too long, economic thinkers have left out acts of care - written off as 'women's work' for centuries - from their calculations. The result? Terrible real-world consequences today- crumbling public services, struggling schools and care systems on the brink of collapse.

In Deficit, prominent Danish feminist Emma Holten reveals how and why this happened, and argues that the things that matter - doing homework with your child, checking in on loved ones, talking to a
colleague who doesn't seem well - might seem inconsequential, but are in fact the building blocks of the economy. Urgent and incisive, this is a call to rethink the economic value of care.

'One of the most important feminist voices of the 21st century' - Sofie Hagen
