Caliban and the witch
[[Silvia Federici]].
Witch trials coincided with [[enclosure of the commons]], and the removal of women from the public sphere and the appropriation of their labour for free. A means to subjugate women who tried to assert themselves.
Criticism
Tangent: Thereโs a shoddy (but in some academic circles popular) book called โCaliban and the Witchโ about the Early Modern witch craze. The thesis of this book is that the witch panic was a kind of proto-capitalist plot to wipe out resistance to the nascent economic system.

^ I don’t think this guy’s criticism is particularly good. But interesting to see anyway.
