Feminising the Economy

I found this reading to be interesting. I agree with what was said in the first section, metaphors of economy, that what women used to do while they stayed at home helped the economy in its own way. Marx said that they were important for social reproduction and economic production while others saw it as unimportant. I personally think that women who stay at home are helping the economy and society because they raise children and teach our future generations. The diagram of the cake was very helpful to look at. It showed the different sectors of the economy. The top half is more business oriented and the bottom half is more about nurture. I think the setup of the diagram is important because it shows that without the mother nature and the "love economy" aspects in society, you cannot have the big businesses and the private sectors.
