The Invisible Woman [Jayati Ghosh]

The video discusses the significant impact of gender on economic structures, highlighting how societal expectations and unpaid labor by women shape economic policies. It critiques the traditional economic model of 'rational economic man' and emphasizes the importance of recognizing the care economy, largely managed by women, which is not driven by rational economic behavior. The video argues that gender roles are socially constructed, affecting all economic processes, and that markets reflect societal power imbalances, necessitating regulation to prevent further divisions.
