Wie könnte eine ganzheitliche Theorie des Kapitalismus aussehen? Diese Einführung in die Social Reproduction Theory (SRT) kann helfen, die Verwobenheit von Produktionsverhältnissen und Unterdrückungsmechanismen im Kapitalismus zu analysieren und zu verstehen. Denn viele Bewegungen setzten sich für queer-feministische Forderungen und gegen weitere Unterdrückungsformen wie Rassismus ein. Dabei fehlt es oftmals an einem Verständnis davon, wie Diskriminierungen im Kapitalismus verankert sind. Ohne ein solches Verständnis können wir die strukturellen Ursachen der Unterdrückung aber nicht bekämpfen und laufen Gefahr sogar weiteres Leid zu produzieren.

Exploring Economics
The authors discuss how identity affects economic outcomes by bringing together psychological and sociological perspectives and economics. For economic outcomes of a single individual, it might be interesting which kind of social groups this individual belongs to. This may influence individual daily decisions and hence economic outcomes. It can, however, not only affect individual economic outcomes but also economic outcomes of organizations, institutions and other groups. This paper describes these influences with respect to gender in the workplace, to the economics of poverty and social exclusion, and to the household division of labour.
