The coronavirus pandemic has thrown light upon many of the issues covered so far in True Currency, from what is valued and measured as work, to inequalities, to the inadequacy of the current system to support everyone in society equally. Ruth and Amy catch up with speakers from the previous episodes to find out how lockdown has affected them, and what hopes they have for the ‘new normal’.
True Currency: About Feminist Economics is a 6 part podcast by The Alternative School of Economics (artists Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck) who draw on their experiences as artists and mothers, and speak to academic researchers, policy experts, community leaders and activists, to explore financial inequality, feminism, intersectionality, labour exploitation, unpaid work, care, unionisation and reproductive labour.

The podcast series was developed between September 2019 and April 2020, through conversations with experts and workshops with community groups at the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre and IRMO (Indoamerican Refugee and Migrant Organisation). These workshops encouraged conversations between women and parents who were interested in these ideas, and are actively involved in feminist economic projects.

What do we want the economy to be? How can we make a feminist economy? What does a feminist economy want? This episode looks at how feminist principals are used to shape research and economic policy, including the Women’s Budget Group’s commission for a Gender Equal Economy, as well as artists who are creating radical new spaces for rethinking what a feminist economy might look like.
