Gender Inequality in Postcapitalism: Theorizing Institutions for a Democratic Socialism

Barbara E. Hopkins

Review of Radical Political Economics, 2018, vol. 50, issue 4, 668-674

Abstract: In this paper, I explore the implications for gender equality of building democratic institutions in workplaces and democratic planning in the economy. I review proposals for postcapitalism and consider whether those institutional innovations are likely to address three aspects of gender equality: discrimination and harassment at work, adequate provision for care work, and social control over consumer decisions. I propose three areas for developing competency at democratic decision making that could improve gender equity. JEL Classification: P4, B54
