Who is behind "Nothing and Thanks for Nothing"? And what motivates us to be active in the care movement?
In this special episode, Maxi and Chris share their approach to care. When did they both realize that care work was distributed unfairly? What dynamics in the care debate make them both think and angry? What perspectives are they missing?
There is also a short interview with Eric Llaveria Caselles, research associate at the TU Berlin, who talks about the gender pay gap, the limitations of the concept and visions for the care movement.

Definitions
Mental Load (mental strain): Burden and stress caused by organizing and coordinating everyday tasks (such as thinking about them, planning, taking responsibility)
Imperial lifestyle: Production and consumption patterns based on the unequal appropriation of nature and labor on a global scale. These patterns particularly shape everyday life in the societies of the Global North and the middle and upper classes of the Global South. They cause high social and ecological costs, which they externalize in space and time: in time, on future generations, in space, on the Global South, and on many regions in the Global North itself (Source)
Scholar Activists: Describes academics who explicitly represent political viewpoints in their work and use their work for this purpose. As a form of work, it seeks to transform society by combining the best features of radical academic and political activist traditions.
Social reproduction: Describes all the work required to produce the totality of social life and society. Many Marxist and materialist feminist theorists use the term to discuss capitalism's dependence on work such as cleaning, listening, organizing in the community, cooking, and raising young people. (More information in this video with Tithi Bhattacharya)
Community Capitalism: A term coined by Silke Van Dyk and Tine Haubner. It describes a form of capitalism in which social functions are delegated to civil society and linked to a new communal rhetoric and politics. According to Dyk and Haubner, this form of capitalism exacerbates exploitative relations and dissolves guaranteed social rights.
Redistribution: Addresses the problem of wealth being distributed very unequally and wants to change this. See also: Podcast episode with Marlene Engelhorn.
Collective agreement for relief (TV-E): A collective agreement designed to ease the burden on hospital staff through a points-based system has already been negotiated in various forms at university hospitals in Homburg, Jena, North Rhine-Westphalia, and hospitals in Berlin.
homo oeconomicus: A model in mainstream economic theory. It describes a person who thinks and acts rationally, aims for the greatest possible benefit (utility maximization), is fully aware of their economic decision-making options and their consequences, and has complete information about all markets and the properties of all goods (complete market transparency). The model is often criticized for portraying the "ideal person" as a highly privileged individual who is supposedly not embedded in social relationships, contexts, or power relations.
