Hello, everyone. Welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host, as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Kristen Gotse. She's an award winning author and professor and chair of Russian and East European studies at the University of Pennsylvania. She's the author of many different books, but today we're going to talk about why women have better sex under socialism and other arguments for economic independence. So Doctor Gotsy, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to everyone. Thanks so much for inviting me. Okay, so let me start by asking you
Because uh I imagine that some people Will be taken aback by the title of your book. So what is the p its premise? So I mean the basic premise is pretty simple. It's that when Women have Economic
Autonomy when they can actually take care of themselves. They live in a society which supports them and supports their roles in societies. That they choose their partners. The romantic partners in particular. Out of love and affection and shared interests or mutual inclinations. Rather than the ability of that romantic partner to pay the bills.
