Scott opens our eyes to the myriad economic injustices that constrain women throughout the world: fathers buying and selling daughters against their will; husbands burning brides whose dowries have been spent; men appropriating women's earnings and widows' land; banks discriminating against women applying for loans; corporations paying women less than men; men treating women as their intellectual inferiors due to primitive notions of female brain development; governments depriving women of affordable childcare; and so much more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eAs Scott takes us from the streets of Accra, where sex trafficking is widespread, to American business schools, where women are routinely patronized, the pervasiveness of the Double X Economy becomes glaringly obvious. But Scott believes that this rampant problem can be solved. She proposes concrete actions and urges her readers to rise up and join the global movement for women's economic empowerment that is gaining momentum by the day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Picador Usa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42752143950030,"sku":"9781250798558","price":24.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/0883\/2974\/files\/9781250798558_a.png?v=1721901214","url":"https:\/\/www.bookxcess.live\/products\/double-x-economy-the-epic-potential-of-womens-empowerment-9781250798558","provider":"BookXcess","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
