The essays collected in this volume represent the years of research and theorizing on questions of social reproduction and the consequences of globalisation. Originally inspired by Federici's organisational work in the Wages for Housework movement, the topics discussed include the international restructuring of reproductive work and its effects on the sexual division of labour, the globalisation of care work and sex work, the crisis of elder care and development of affective labour. A brief history of the feminist movement and a contemporary critique of capitalism.
