Emma Holten: Deficit – On the value of care (2025)
– In 2020, the prominent Danish feminist Emma Holten read an article stating that women were a net ‘deficit’ to society. Women took more than they gave, ‘draining’ the public purse by giving birth and taking parental leave. They contributed less than their fair share in taxes, because they often worked part-time to look after other people at home, or held low-paid jobs in the public sector.
Denmark would be richer if women’s lives looked more like men’s, the economic experts concluded. A similar story is told around the globe.
How did we get here? In her new book Deficit, Emma Holten traces how economic thinkers – from the Enlightenment onwards – created a value framework that overlooked and neglected ‘women’s work’ and acts of care. She reveals how the economic models that drive political decisions today are just as flawed, giving us unparalleled monetary wealth, but causing deep social harms that are hurting us all.
If we cannot properly value the things that matter, how can we build a better future?

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers arrived in hearing rooms this week armed with spreadsheets, talking points, and the absolute certainty that this would finally be the session where they focused exclusively on fiscal discipline.

The U.S. National Debt - How Single Year Budgeting And Funding Cycles Lead To Unmanageable Government
Surely the one year cycle has become a ludicrous exercise we can no longer afford and our government is choking on it. It is a political monstrosity that occurs too frequently to be managed effectively.
Government must lay out a formal baseline over multiple years (I suggest at least 2 fiscal years – ideally 4 – tied to a presidential election) – then fund in accordance with it and hold some principals in the agencies funded accountable by controlling their spending incrementally – not in an annual panic mode.
