Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And Other Arguments for Economic Independence by Kristen R. Ghodsee
4.0
3.5
i think the content is very relevant and important. i enjoyed the discussion around capitalism and patriarchy and the nuance that is sometimes overlooked.
it became a bit repetitive towards the second half but that's just cause i would like a deeper discussion, maybe some suggestions and alternatives and overall something a bit more concrete than just how capitalism and socialism differ in the overall hapiness and outlook of the individuals that grow up hearing these ideas.
it also raised an important discussion around how winners erase history and how that's how capitalism has a great rep - because it won and procceeded to bash socialism and try to make it the devil.
the book i think is more suited towards the american society so a lot of comparisons didin't really make sense, like the mention of the need of a universal health system and such.
it does however ackowledge the negatives of both capitlism and communism and suggest a healthy balance striving especially for equality and better liver for women who are usually hurt by a capitalist society.
