Unable to assign value to acts of care, these acts have, by default, been assigned a value of zero. And this has horrible consequences for all of us, trapped in a world where our perceived value is linked – at political and societal levels – to our economic productivity, above all else.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback, 336 pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FRIDA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57253173363014,"sku":null,"price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/1603\/6422\/files\/deficit.jpg?v=1788445777","url":"https:\/\/thefrida.nl\/products\/deficit-e-holten","provider":"FRIDA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
