The Future of Capitalism

¿Qué harán las miles de trabajadoras por cuenta propia, quienes boletean, y en general, todos quienes no pueden depender de contar con licencia pagada al ausentarse de su lugar de trabajo?”, Para lidiar con la emergencia, los autores proponen aplicar una idea que se ha estudiado para la pérdida de empleos por la automatización: dar a todas las personas un Ingreso Básico Universal (IBU).

Nancy Fraser et Elsa Dorlin, philosophes et militantes des Gender Studies, échangent et débattent autour de "Un féminisme pour les 99%. Un manifeste".

This article provides a contextual framework for understanding the gendered dimensions of the COVID-19 pandemic and its health, social, and economic outcomes. The pandemic has generated massive losses in lives, impacted people’s health, disrupted markets and livelihoods, and created profound reverberations in the home. In 112 countries that reported sex-disaggregated data on COVID-19 cases, men showed an overall higher infection rate than women, and an even higher mortality rate. However, women’s relatively high representation in sectors hardest hit by lockdown orders has translated into larger declines in employment for women than men in numerous countries. Evidence also indicates that stay-at-home orders have increased unpaid care workloads, which have fallen disproportionately to women. Further, domestic violence has increased in frequency and severity across countries. The article concludes that policy response strategies to the crisis by women leaders have contributed to more favorable outcomes compared to outcomes in countries led by men.

Geldpolitische Maßnahmen in Reaktion auf die Finanzkrise enthalten zum einen Gender-, Klassen- und ethnische Normen und haben zum anderen asymmetrische Auswirkungen auf verschiedene gesellschaftliche Gruppen. Sie benachteiligen, wie Brigitte Young zeigt, vor allem auch Frauen und deren ökonomische Situation. Der Vortrag veranschaulicht die Interaktion von Makro- und Mikroebene in der Finanzialisierung.
