Das weibliche Kapital

The inequality between the rich and the poor is one of the most pressing issues in international politics. The search for solutions is constantly intensifying – yet there remains a blind spot: the role of women. "The Female Capital" provides the scientific foundations for the crucial next step. Through her own research, empirically supported and illustrated with numerous case studies, Linda Scott demonstrates that gender equality is not a luxury project of the wealthy West, but rather the most promising key to combating poverty. In doing so, she fills a gap that the major proposals of Thomas Piketty and Jeffrey Sachs have left open in recent years.
