{"product_id":"social-reproduction-antonella-picchio-9780521418720","title":"Social Reproduction","description":"An important characteristic of labour which distinguishes it from capital is that it bears the costs of its own sustenance, the extent to which it does so varying with different institutional arrangements. Economic theory has generally overlooked this, one consequence being that it has negelected the distinctive role played by women. This book traces the deepening insensitivity of post-classical economic theory to this issue, taking the 1834 Poor Law and the reassessment of it in 1909 as illustrations of the social implications of this theoretical inadequacy. These examples reveal the general remoteness of housewives from market discipline, and the need for state intervention to offer them support. This book is a contribution to the development of a social-policy relevant theory of the labour market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Antonella Picchio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521418720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521418720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.21w x 0.65d","brand":"Antonella Picchio","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44491360534783,"sku":"9780521418720","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6b2f9ae-d8a1-4883-a201-f56403d1bab4.jpg?v=1699450766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-reproduction-antonella-picchio-9780521418720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
