Can society be commodities all the way down? Post-Polanyian reflections on capitalist crisis (2014, background): “Far from filling the care gap, the net effect is to displace it – from richer to poorer families, from the Global North to the Global South (Elson, 2002; Folbre, 2001; Hochschild, 2002; Rai et al., 2014).”
The “sharing” economy: labor, inequality, and social connection on for‐profit platforms (2017, background): “The weaknesses of Belk's perspective can also be seen in the context of Viviana Zelizer's (1997) pathbreaking work on money, as well as other insightful analyses of the complexity of motives in both market and family (Folbre, 2001).”
Feminist Theories of Technology (2010, background): “Just as feminist economists have redefined the discipline of economics to take account of unpaid domestic and caring work (Folbre, 2001; Himmelweit, 2003), so too feminist scholars of STS have argued for the significance of everyday life technologies (Cowan, 1976; Stanley, 1995).”
Feeling Rushed: Gendered Time Quality, Work Hours, Nonstandard Work Schedules, and Spousal Crossover (2017, background): “Again this supports theoretical expectations because women are more usually responsible for the smooth and harmonious running of the household, and more likely to perform emotional labor and take on caring roles within the family (Folbre, 2001; Strazdins & Broom, 2004).”
The Unpaid Care Work–Paid Work Connection (2008, neutral): “Folbre (1994, 2001) has convincingly argued that the maintenance of a healthy pool of labour and the generational reproduction of the labour force raises the issue of the state’s responsibility in its own right.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the care burden of women and families (2020, background): “Many scholars and practitioners aligned with the “new economics” movement have argued for economic measures that value this core work that sustains all other work in society (e.g., Donath 2000; Dengler and Strunk 2018; Folbre 2001; Schor 2008).”
Locating Globalization: Feminist (Re)readings of the Subjects and Spaces of Globalization* (2002, background): “Women’s disproportionate role in social reproduction is intelligible only in relation to gendered ideologies of caring and domesticity (Moser 1987; Folbre 2001).”
Does Father Care Mean Fathers Share? (2006, background): “Care giving is a complicated mixture of work and love, in which the relationship itself is of great importance (Folbre 2001).”
