These involve economic liberalization and the concentration of productive and financial activity geared to short-term profits, unrestrained material consumption, unparalleled levels of militarism, and the privatization of public goods and services, all at the expense of state regulation and redistribution. Such processes have caused, in many places, crises of care, which means the breakdown in the abilities of individuals, families, communities and societies to sustain, care for and educate themselves and future generations, thereby undermining people's rights and dignity (United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), 2014). These risks and vulnerabilities undermine the viability of market models even on their own terms. The fruits of economic growth have also been unequally divided.
