Abstract/Artist's Statement
This project investigates the ways the Rational Economic Man reproduces bourgeois class and ideology. Each of the systems that participate in this reproduction are interconnected and deeply rely on each other to maintain a hierarchy of power and access. Economics as discipline, the state, family as an economic unit, and the healthcare system are all self-serving mechanisms that reproduce subjugation and benefit those already in power.
