![🗣🎙[INTERVIEW] @gisebu visited @estipozzo at his home. He's presenting his new book, "It's the Economy, You're Not Stup](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FWq40KqWIAE7hSC.jpg)
@estipozzo: “I wrote the book because I think talking about money is a taboo subject for us.”
@estipozzo: "What's happening to us is that we're very busy with the things we have to do, and the last thing is the most important thing, which is how we organize what we want to do, and money is a fundamental tool to achieve it."
@estipozzo: “I was always very organized and thrifty because I always linked having money with doing things freely.”
@estipozzo: “In general, women's salaries are what support the household income. In my family, my mom paid for school, and my dad's money went toward rent or buying a car.” (CONTINUED)
"All of these things have to do with how society is socially organized around money."
@estipozzo: “Gender-based violence isn't just a beating or psychological abuse. There are women who don't know their husbands have hidden accounts. That's property and economic violence, and it's enshrined in Argentine law.”
@estipozzo on financial infidelity: “Financial infidelity is when one of the two people in the couple has hidden expenses when that is not the agreement.”
@estipozzo: “Mandala, my cat, is the absolute protagonist. She's in the book's acknowledgments; I wrote: Thank you so much, Mandala, for this interspecies family we've created.”
@estipozzo: “Doing economic journalism in this country is very difficult, very hectic, but it is a great challenge.”
@estipozzo: "It's very difficult for the media to be open to other perspectives regarding structural differences. The capitalist system generates inequality and poverty; I don't think that's right, and I speak from that perspective." (CONTINUED)
"The same thing happens to me with gender inequalities; I can't ignore them in my professional practice."
@estipozzo: On her foray into a man's world: "It was slow. I started when I was under 30. I was invited out a lot, and I had to juggle telling the source no, something that doesn't happen to my male colleagues."
@estipozzo: “It's important to spread the word about economics on social media because we have to discuss the more mainstream view of the economic system, which is much more liberal.”
@estipozzo: “I think it's wrong that there are people who can't make ends meet. We live in a system where money exists, and we progressives have to somehow respond to that demand without leaving all that space to the right.”
@estipozzo: On Argentina's economic situation: "What worries me most is inflation. When you have a context where prices are rising the way they are, you are certain that there are people who are going without food. That is something that politics cannot ignore."
