Homes in Crisis Capitalism: Gender, Work and Revolution by Marnie Holborow is an upcoming work (set for release in February 2024) that explores the intersection of capitalism, social reproduction, and gender dynamics, particularly focusing on how homes serve as sites of crisis under contemporary capitalism. Holborow employs a Marxist lens to examine how domestic work, predominantly carried out by women, remains undervalued in neoliberal economies. The book addresses the growing care crisis, the role of women as both unpaid and underpaid caregivers, and the broader implications for gender inequality.

Holborow argues for a radical shift away from capitalist models to provide adequate material resources for domestic labor and care work, advocating for their social recognition. The book highlights the consequences of economic crises on home life, particularly for working-class women and women of color, and critiques the limitations of current equality policies that fail to address the root causes of these issues. It also engages with topics such as family structures, race, class privilege, and feminist strategies for resisting capitalist exploitation.

Holborow’s work contributes significantly to discussions in feminist theory, Marxist critique, and social reproduction theory, offering both a theoretical framework and practical strategies for addressing the crisis in care and gendered labor under capitalism.
