Why read it?

1 author picked The Double X Economy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In The Double X Economy, economist Linda Scott lays down an incredibly detailed argument for why gender equality is important economically, not just morally.

What I loved most about this book was that it pushed me to see gender bias more clearly—it is so tangled up with power that decision makers are often willing to leave money on the table to protect the status quo.
