In this episode, we talk about how our day to day routines have a huge cumulative effect on the environment, our shopping habits can sway the world's patterns of trade, and how we organize and run our family life sets the political tone of nations. How have we seen this in domestic work in history, what have we learned from looking at history, and how has covid changed our relationship with domestic work and how we identify in relation to how we exist?
