About this audiobook
Across most of the world, the household is an economic enterprise. The children are the product the enterprise generates wealth from. The wealth flows upward from children to parents across the life cycle, and it keeps flowing across continents after the children migrate, back through the wire and the bank account to the household that raised them for that purpose.
Born Owed is a documentary essay in ten episodes about that household, written from inside the diaspora the household exported. The first season documents the system at origin. The second season follows the system into the diaspora. Each episode rests on named scholars, public data, and witnesses on the public record. The work is what one diaspora hand passes to another, a document the reader can hold and recognize what the reader has been inside.
