In this third podcast exploring the underlying assumptions of economics, Victoria Bateman explains how economists have ignored the importance of sex and gender. She argues that the status and freedom of women are central to making the west rich, overtaking other parts of the world that had long been ahead. She shows hot obsession with women’s bodily modesty has made women dependent on men, and how this cult of modesty has changed over time and between countries. She calls for a fundamental change in modern economics which has neglected women, lacked historical understanding, and ignored the wider social sciences.
Victoria Bateman studied economics at the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, She returned to Cambridge in2009 as Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, before leaving to become an independent scholar and consultant. Her work links economic history and economics, and above all the role of women. She is a regular broadcaster, contributor to newspapers, public speaker.
Books we discuss are:
The Sex Factor: How Women Made the West Rich Cambridge, 2019.
Naked Feminism: Breaking the Cult of Female Modesty Cambridge, 2023.
