The book of 2020 because not only does it find a way out of the crisis but it lays the basis for something better in its place.” There were also a lot of "we need to"statements particularly when shifting to national and international levels. It gets difficult to focus and becomes frustrating because those statements are unhelpful. I need to work out, but by saying it in that way, I lose the interest and I've made no path to do it.

So close, but yet so far !!! Not radical enough ! Within this context, regressive national tax policies, often encouraged or imposed by international financial institutions, undermine States’ responsibility to provide public services that ensure rights. The Care Manifesto gives an idea of what a caring society would look like, and it gives a certain analysis of the current problem. But what it does not do is tell us how we got here, suggesting the problem only began with Thatcher and Reagan, nor does it adequately tell us how we achieve the society it sets out.

One example of this at present is the Progressive International, which is about to launch its first conference led by radical figures on the global stage. The Leap Organization is another. The challenge is to build upon earlier moments of radical change, even when they didn’t last, as well to fortify the diverse kinds of organizations and movements that have emerged and continue to struggle for a more caring world. Meanwhile, deregulation, privatization, fiscal consolidation (austerity) and crushing neo-colonial debt burdens further entrench these extreme power imbalances between women and men, Global South and Global North, workers and corporations. This depletes global and local resources to fund quality public care services and allow for decent, well paid care work and universal social protection. In showing us the power of mutual aid, coalition-building and solidarity, this book aids us in ensuring our activism is enacted through our daily actions within our communities and that whilst change starts within us, it doesn’t end there.”

The report, which sources said had the support of many on the Labour frontbench although they are not expected to support all of the recommendations, stresses that the dismal state of the nation’s finances means changes will have to be staggered – with bigger spending commitments on hold until the economy recovers. The Care Manifesto is a radiant invitation to transform our economy and society, a roadmap for how we can emerge from overlapping crises and weave a new social fabric. The ethic of universal care is an antidote to the spiralling carelessness that our current system shows towards people and the planet. The authors understand that care is not a commodity: it’s a practice, a core value, and an organizing principle on which a new politics can and must be built.” The authors of this manifesto show an awareness of the potentially problematic character of being involved in caring relationships that unfold in a intersubjective field characterised by tensions. Caring is searching for a delicate balance between self-preservation and investment in the other. It is fundamentally co-creative (see also Annemarie Mol's The Logic of Care). Psychologically, it may expose the participants in the caring relationship to challenging emotions (Hans van Ewijk, in his Complexity and Social Work, discusses the practice of normative professionalisation as a support in handling these conflicts). Another great read from Verso :') Even though a lot of what was proposed in here felt pretty obvious to me already, it was interesting to center the discussion around the framework of "caring infrastructures", which is essentially the varied web of social and community welfare in simpler terms. They argue that free market capitalism has shoved aside social and community welfare in favor of profits and the individual as priority (which, duh) and cite examples of how eco-socialist solutions have worked in other countries and in history in general. This was written during COVID-19 (they reference it often) and points to how on-the-ground, mutual aid efforts are filling gaps where neoliberalism and capitalism fail. Sindicato dos Servidores Públicos Federais no Estado de Pernambuco - SINDSEP/PE Sindicato dos Servidores Públicos Federais no Estado de Pernambuco - SINDSEP/PE Brazil over 1 year agoBut what we see is that everywhere the least well off, especially those with dependents in need of care, have been suffering. And it is usually women who are somehow expected to cope with the escalating need – women who are most often themselves in waged work nowadays. As we say in the Manifesto, the devaluation of care is linked to care and caretaking’s historic association with women, women’s work and its perceived “non-productive” nature. The manifesto contends that understandings of care have been ‘diminished’, but in this little book the concept is so expansive that it seems to encompass almost everything. What is gained by considering all forms of flourishing and suffering – human and ecological, emotional and physical – under the rubric of care and carelessness? Is carelessness just a euphemism for capitalism? I agree with all of the criticisms of neo-liberalism, and with the proposals for change and what needs to be done. There were some interesting ideas, and some food for discussion and thought. Union Nacional de Empleados UNE - FNT. Union Nacional de Empleados UNE - FNT. Nicaragua over 1 year ago
