Care has always been at the center of our lives. So why has it never been at the center of our economy? In this episode, feminist economist Lucía Cirmi Obón joins us to unpack something most of us have felt but never had the language for: that the daily work of raising children, caring for family, and holding communities together is not separate from economic life. It is economic life. Drawing from her years inside Argentina's national government and her ongoing work in feminist economics, Lucía makes a compelling case: economies that ignore care don't just fail women. They fail everyone. This is a conversation for the woman who has ever felt the weight of invisible labor, wondered why the systems around her weren't built to support her, or simply wanted to understand the bigger picture behind the struggles she faces every day.
