What does a 19th century philosopher and economist have to do with Taylor Swift? In this week's episode we put on our Marxist Theory glasses to consider how the ideas of ownership, value, and class differences help us understand Taylor's music in a whole new way. Maansi teaches us what it means to belong to someone in “Mine.” Jenn digs into the political metaphors in “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince.” And Jodi teaches us about social class differences with the incredible true story behind “the last great american dynasty.” Tune in to learn all of this and see how much fun it can be to play with new literary lenses (even if you don't necessarily agree with the underlying philosophy).    Mentioned in the episode:  “Mine," Speak Now  “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince," Lover  “the last great american dynasty," folklore  Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner by Katrine Marçal “Politics of Love and Love of Politics: Towards a Marxist Theory of Love” by Raju Das 1984 by George Orwell Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Bluebood by Carl Unger (Rebekah Harkness biography)  Les Miserables by Victor Hugo Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens ***   Episode Highlights:  [00:25] Introduction to Marxist Theory [04:07] “Mine” from Speak Now [23:05] “Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince” from Lover [38:57] “the last great american dynasty” from folklore   Subscribe to get new episode updates: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe   Follow us on social!  TikTok → tiktok.com/@APTaylorSwift Instagram → instagram.com/APTaylorSwift YouTube → youtube.com/@APTaylorSwift Link Tree → linktr.ee/aptaylorswift Bookshop.org → bookshop.org/shop/apts This podcast is neither related to nor endorsed by Taylor Swift, her companies, or record labels.

Dit keer bespreken we het boek Piratenverlichting van David Graeber met de ondertitel, Zeerovers, zelfbestuur en de verborgen oorsprong van de verlichting. Het origineel is in 2019 gepubliceerd, deze Nederlandse vertaling in 2023. Graeber is in 2020 overleden en was antropoloog. We lazen eerder het geweldige boek Het begin van alles van David Graeber en David Wengrow. Graeber heeft veel tijd doorgebracht op Madagaskar en onderzoek gedaan naar de rol van dit eiland, de cultuur het bestuur en de piraten in de oorsprong van de verlichting. Het eiland ligt ten oosten van Zuid Afrika en heeft een oppervlakte dat groter is dan Frankrijk. Een eiland met een rijke geschiedenis omdat het eeuwen een stop was voor schepen op doorreis rondom kaap de goede hoop. Achterin het boek vind je een tijdlijn van de piraten en de verlichting zodat je de connectie kunt zien. In zijn boek het begin van alles beschrijft hij hoe ook de oorspronkelijke bewoners van Noord Amerika en antropologen een rol speelde bij de ontwikkeling van de verlichting. Voor dit boek heeft Graeber veel literatuur onderzoek gedaan. Een uitgebreid overzicht van je achterin het boek Een interessant boek waarin je meer leert over het mogelijke ontstaan van de Verlichting in Europa door een samenleving in een mix van bezoekers en de bewoners van het eiland. Waar de organisatie en besluitvorming van een piratenschip wordt overgenomen op land en vrouwen een belangrijke rol spelen via de piraten. De verlichting blijkt vooral gebruikt voor uitbuiting en vernietiging, in eigen land en andere continenten net als de rol van de rouw werd verwijderd uit de geschiedenis.  Het boek bestaat uit drie delen en een conclusie. Deel I: Piraten en schijnkoningen in het noordoosten van Madagaskar Deel II: De opkomst van de piraten gezien vanuit de Malagassiërs Deel III: Piratenverlichting Conclusies Piraten en schijnkoningen in het noordoosten van Madagaskar Probleem van de piraten was dat ze buiten veroverden maar deze nergens goed konden omzetten in geld. Op Madagaskar werd het bezit gedeeld met de vrouwen die ze kregen aangeboden van de inwoners. Door hun dochters aan te bieden maakten ze de piraten onderdeel van de familie en nam de kans af op oorlog en geweld. Het beeld van de Europeanen was bij de Malagassische bewoners vergelijkbaar met piraten, gewelddadig, ze veroverden, onruststokers, om zo slaven mee te kunnen nemen. De opkomst van de piraten gezien vanuit de Malagassiërs Hierin vertelt Graeber over de kabary (vergaderingen) voor consensusvorming tussen dorpen en clans. Dit soort overleggen konden dagen duren. Soms werd er een oorlogshoofd gekozen om het probleem  op te lossen. Vrouwen lijken ruilobjecten, maar later meer handelaren en soort van magiërs met allerlei rituelen en middelen om mannen te verleiden en vermoorden. Piratenverlichting Conclusies Het piratenschip in de 17e eeuw had een democratische organisatie. De piraten deden wat ze zelf wilden alleen in gevechtssituaties was er een duidelijke leider, de kapitein. Aan het begin van de 18e eeuw heerst Ratimilaho over een groot deel va noord oost Madagaskar. De zoon van een Malagassische prinses en een Engelse piraat. Hij regeerde volgens dezelfde regels als op een piratenschip. Graeber verwacht dat Montesquieu geïnspireerd was door deze vorm van samenleving op Madagaskar, met veel vrijheid en gelijkheid. De Malagassische vrouw was in staat om te besturen via de piraten. Ze dreven ook handel met de piraten. In de verhalen die de mannen meenamen van Madagaskar naar Europa werd de rol van de vrouw verwijderd. We moeten zijn eerste boek Schuld: de eerste 5000 jaar ook lezen, om te kijken naar de oorsprong van geld en de rol die het nu heeft. Het boek Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? van Katrine Marcal staat nu ook op de lijst door het voorwoord van Joris Luyendijk.  Waar het in het Begin van Alles ging over Kandiaronk en de Wendat-gemeenschap gaat het...

We live in a world shaped by gender. For too long, we have underestimated the consequences of sexism in our economy, and the way it holds all of us—both women and men—back. In Mother of Invention, bestselling author Katrine Marçal sets the record straight and shows how, in a time of crisis, the ideas and ingenuity of women are crucial for our future. Today Katrine joins the show to discuss the economic impact of women, specifically how the inclusion of women is the missing key to innovation for modern business.  Listen in as we dive deep on the topic of gender bias, explaining how gender bias can actually delay the innovations that we now take for granted. You will learn how to maintain an innovative spirit and inspire others to do the same, as well as how you can amplify diverse voices to ensure everyone is able to share their knowledge, ideas, and opinions. “Innovation and tech is really what drives the economy, and there is this narrative that historically everything important ever was invented by a man… and it's time to rewrite women back in the story of innovation.” - Katrine Marçal This Week on Young Money: Why the inclusion of women in innovation is key. What gender bias is and how it is prevalent in today's world. How to overcome gender bias. The importance of diversifying your team, if you have one. How to ensure you're getting diverse opinions. How to get involved in discussions around our economy. Why you shouldn't be scared of the language of economics. Key takeaways: Maintain an innovative spirit. Create diverse environments. Amplify women's voices. Revisit your budget. Get curious.

Katrine's two books, ‘Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner' and her latest book - ‘Mother of Invention - How Good Ideas Get Ignored in an Economy Built for Men' explore how women's roles and contribution have been systemically ignored over time. Katrine has a fun and engaging way of telling stories that show just how much we've missed out on by overlooking the value women bring to the table. Not surprisingly, she also shares how frustrated she is that we've missed out on countless potential innovations because there haven't been enough women involved in the process. Katrine's first book was named one of The Guardian's Books of the Year in 2015 and she was named as one of the BBC's top 100 women in the same year. Her latest book builds on this impressive record. In this fascinating discussion you'll learn: How the founder of modern economics, Adam Smith, overlooked one very important factor when he came up with his ‘self interest' theory and what impact that's had on women and what we're paid,How innovation history has overlooked or re-written women's vital role in computer science and the founding of software,How and why a company that specialised in women's underwear won the contract to make the spacesuits that took the Apollo astronauts to their history making landing on the Moon; andHow Katrine herself comes up with her original ideas and perspectives.So sit back, enjoy and be prepared to have your eyes opened by the insightful and engaging Katrine Marçal.

"Economics needs feminism and feminism needs economics. It's so key for solving the problems we have today. I firmly believe this is the perspective we need. This is what can fix our economic problems." - Katrine Marçal, author of "Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?" Adam Smith is considered the founding father of economics asking the question, "How do you get your dinner?" As he devised how rational self-interest and competition can lead to economic prosperity, he forgot about his own mother who got his dinner for him. So what does history tell us about the role of women in the economy? Vicki Saunders chats with Katrine Marçal, an expert in feminist economics and author of "Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?" about how economics forgot about women. In this episode, Katrine breaks down how innovation has been held back based on our ideas about gender and how through unpaid work of Adam Smith's own mother undervalues unpaid work's contribution to the economy. They also touch on: The underlying drive of the economy through self-interest. The need to think twice about our values of care and health. Why natural skills are not paid as much. The innovation myth where the drive to innovate is tied to the will to dominate and conquer the world. Why excluding women from economics changes our economies and how we work.  The significance of knowing how the economy works today. The challenge of the need to build something new. How funding women will transform the global economy. Katrine's new book called "Mother of Invention - How Good Ideas are Ignored in an Economy Built for Men" will be released in English in 2021.

We’ve heard all about economic man, but what happened to economic woman? Women are noticeably absent in theoretical economic models and—perhaps not so coincidentally—they're also massively underrepresented in the field of economics itself. This week, we’re joined by journalist Katrine Marçal and economists Dr. Lisa Cook and Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman in an examination of why women are excluded from economics, and what we can do about it.  Katrine Marçal is a journalist for Dagens Nyheter, Sweden’s most prestigious daily newspaper. Her book Who Cooked Adam Smith’s Dinner? was shortlisted for the August Prize in 2012 and has been translated into 19 languages. Twitter: @katrinemarcal Dr. Lisa D.

As the world dealt with the fallout of the 2008 financial crash the hunt began for someone to blame. One group of people was suddenly thrust into the spotlight - economists. If they could not see such a catastrophe coming, had the world's economists been asleep on the job, inept, or just blind to the crucial warning signs? As an economist himself, professor Ian Goldin thinks economists deserve a share of the blame. He looks at the ways the financial crash led to a crisis in his own profession, and to huge changes in the way economics is thought about and taught. Why should we care? Remember these are the people who steer the financial systems on which we all depend. If they give bad advice, it can wreck your economy. Ian argues that economics needs to get away from some of its old ideas about treating human behaviour as a rational, rather macho science, and open itself up to ideas from across the whole world. But in the end, should we all try harder to be economically literate and better able to spot dangers on the horizon? Guests include the head of the IMF Christine Lagarde, Bank of England chief economist Andy Haldane, former World Bank managing director and finance minister of Nigeria Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, author of Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner? Katrine Marçal, and Nobel-prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz. (Photo: Business man with his head in his hands. Credit: Getty Images)
