Misty reveals how the economics profession has long ignored the contributions of women in the labor market, in households, and in the data itself. Through the lens of Taylor Swift's career and songwriting, Misty makes the case that pop culture isn't a detour from serious economics; it's an on-ramp. The conversation also explores care privilege, the CARE Board dashboard, and what it means to push feminist economics into the mainstream rather than accept a seat at the side table.\n\nGuest Links\nSwiftynomics\nSubstack\nThe Care Board\nMisty Heggeness at University of Kansas\nMisty on LinkedIn\nBook\nSwiftynomics: How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy, Misty L.
