Nancy Folbre (Professor Emerita @UMass.Amherst) unpacks the complex layers of social and economic inequality, advocating for a deeper understanding of intersectionality in economics. She examines how different forms of inequality—such as class, gender, and race—intersect and overlap, creating a multifaceted picture of disadvantage and privilege. Folbre's work challenges traditional economic models by highlighting the need for a more holistic and inclusive approach to understanding disparities, ultimately calling for political and economic systems that address these complexities head-on.
