ABOUT THE WORK
In this work the author examines how taxation and public policy models structure a good part of everyday life and mentalities.
The fiscal system under which we find ourselves currently promotes inequality between women and men and continues to perpetuate the idea that women have more responsibility for care work.
That is, it encourages and sustains the Sexual Division of Labor.
The current political moment, in which institutional intervention intersects with the new wave of feminism (third or fourth according to traditions), is an ideal time to work, think, discuss and intervene on the fiscal and economic structure.
María Pazos Morán analyzes in this book the capitalist and patriarchal structure that sustains the current regime and explores the public policies that perpetuate the Sexual Division of Labor.
The look is completed with the observation of tax models that have had the will to promote equality between men and women. The work horizon posed by the author is a society without DST and the challenge, in addition, work from an anti-capitalist perspective.
Questions, horizons and intermediate roads are possible ways to advance in social transformation and in the search for more emancipating horizons.
