job

Herrero's research focuses on the current ecological crisis , derived from the expanding capitalist production model. In her work she argues that capitalism is inconceivable without economic growth , but that in our physical world resources are limited and that growth cannot be expanded indefinitely. Furthermore, she emphasizes that in an economic model that is solely geared towards profit, the number of jobs declared as superfluous will continue to increase and the work done in the agricultural sector and the reproductive sector will hardly be given adequate remuneration and state subsidies.

She therefore sees the only solution as the transformation to an alternative economic model that has the inclusion of all people in mind and is entirely based on the capacity of renewable raw materials .
