Care

Without care, children fail to thrive, the sick fail to recover and the elderly die. Care is at the cradle of human civilization and it is society’s engine. It is what makes people human. But if care is so important, why do we undervalue it? In a fascinating quest for its significance, Lynn Berger discovers how all-encompassing but invisible care is, and that we are hurtling towards the biggest crisis ever.
