Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence
by Kristen R. Ghodsee
It took me forever to finish this book, six months to be exact.
Ghodsee does a good job at putting forward her theory and backing it up with “facts” (empirical evidence is a better term) as well as incorporating her opinions, however, that only made the book extremely dense for me thus taking away my ability to fully focus on it - it was a 230 page long rant.
This choice was a bit out of comfort zone nonetheless I am glad I dove into it since I’m keen on economics (more than politics itself), specially the overpowering evil that is capitalism.
Reflecting on the theory exposed, the idea is not to go back to these socialist or even totalitarian states of the past but more like analyzing those in the present that being capitalist have managed to apply certain policies, i.e. mandatory paid maternity leave, of socialist structure.
Is sex actually better when women achieve true economic independence? This is where my thoughts are divided.
