I'm sure a missed a lot. I'm a woman of trans experience (which if u have any issue w/ that move on please and do something else with your day) and my economic reality and never served by studying an economist. The masses of the Earth are never served by studying economics especially from western academics but honestly anyone in the world of academic economics is probably removed from real world labour and trade so much that their works is vacuous at best.
I dream of labour for the people that i want to labour for. For the cause I want to labour for. And not a bit of work ever. But if I followed the b.s. science of economics I might beleive that being a care taker isn't good enough. Folks who can gestitate a child might beleive bringing new life to the planet isn't good enough. People who tend to the environment might beleive that this vital work ain't good enough.
I say no to work, and after that I say HELL naw to economics!
p.s. please ignore the typos! I'm at work and don't have time to spell check and grammer check even though I'm done with all the necessary task for the day but our boss wants to keep me longer anyway and I have to do it or miss out on pay! Also, complaining or correcting spelling and grammar mistakes that didn't actually hinder comprehension is antiBlack
