fitzpatrick Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Good morning everyone, Nancy Folbre is visiting my school's Econ department today, and I was wondering if anyone had any good questions that I could bring up during her presentation as I'm unfamiliar with her work. If anyone else happens to be somehwat familiar and has a good and relevant challenge to present, please let me know and I'll report back what happens! Link is below. Best, fitz https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Folbre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gee Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Never read her stuff but just checked out her wiki. Feminist economist eh? Feminism is socialism with lady parts, so a socialist economist (with lady parts). How about....... Was Karl Marx a feminist? I think that might be provoke an interesting response.

Mister Mister Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If women are paid 77 cents to the dollar compared to men, why don't companies hire only men? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirgall Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If women are paid 77 cents to the dollar compared to men, why don't companies hire only men? I think you meant "if women are paid 77 cents on the dollars compared to men for the same work, why do companies hire men at all?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
