patriarchy, was nominated for the
August Prize in 2012. An English translation by
Saskia Vogel was published in the United Kingdom under the title ''
Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?''. The book has since been translated to 20 languages.
Margaret Atwood called it "A smart, funny, readable book on economics, money [and] women.".
''Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?'' The book ''
Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?'' from 2012 written by Kielos is
feminist critique of economics that aims to expose the historical neglect of women's roles, particularly in domestic spheres. Kielos questions the simplistic paradigm of the "economic man" and highlights the influence of neoliberal ideology within contemporary economic thought. She traces the evolution of economics, where a
economistic outlook was first seen as absurd and taboo only to gradually become normalized, exemplified by Gary Becker's ideas. Kielos reflects on Keynes' prediction (that was pessimistic in terms of growth) of a world in 2030 where
waged work gives way to art, poetry and contemplation, contrasting it with what she refers to as the contemporary obsession with economic thought. She underscores how the notion of the "rational individuals" blinds us to societal issues and as well as comments that ''"What is good for the rich and powerful is almost always 'good for the economy".'' ==Personal life==
