-===== After Fordism, a new kind of global capitalism and a new kind of household =====
-Mass production can only be made so efficient (and consumers can only consume so much stuff). As the economy it sustains continues to grow, the large firms at its heart make less and less profit. The system inevitably falls into crisis.
-  * Wages stagnate, prices rise, families come to depend on two incomes (Harvey 1989, 147–53; see also Fraser [1997] 2013).
-  * Capitalist firms in affluent societies use their economic power to pressure states to eliminate barriers to trade so they can outsource production overseas, i.e. where wages are lower.
-    * So-called globalization is not progress; it is a reaction to the failure of Fordism.

   * Kinship in the Fordist “private” domain of the nuclear family is still, as Carsten might say, something people do; it’s invisible to the rest of the world since doing kinship is seen as strictly women’s work.
-  * Even as the Fordist social contract collapses, people still adhere to this ideological representation of kinship as private. Women who work in dual-income households still do most if not all of the care work; they pull a “second shift” at home [hochschild_second_1989-1].
