Praise for The Invisible Heart: An outstandingly provocative book about the economics of care and reciprocity. -New York Times Original, challenging, and illuminating ... ought to change the way we think about the economy, about economics, and about the family. -The Independent Review Folbre makes an important contribution to the discussion of what our society could be, and her humor and insight elevate her book above mere political diatribe. -Publishers Weekly Praise for Who Pays for the Kids Nancy Folbre focuses on questions that most economists never think about: how and why people form overlapping groups that influence and limit what they want, how they may behave, and what they get. She has sharp and plausible things to say about group solidarity and group conflict and how they have affected the workings of economic institutions. Anyone would be a better economist, or just a clearer thinker, after reading this book. -Robert M. Solow, Professor of Economics, MIT, and Nobel Laureate in Economics Nancy Folbre, offers a provocative rejoinder to standard economic analyses that focus primarily on market forces and wage labor, thereby marginalizing women and children and devaluing the work they perform in the home and community. -The Women's Review of Books
