The reproduction sphere constitutes the sphere of domestic, non-paid and traditionally assigned to women labour.
In the Marxist theory, two types of labour exist within capitalist societies. The first type of labour is the productive labour, which refers to the production of goods and services in exchange of a wage. The second type of labour is anchored into the reproduction sphere, and refers to the sphere of domestic, non-paid labour: cleaning, cooking, and especially having and raising children – who are destined to be tomorrow's workers - belong to the reproductive labour.
Both labours are co-existent: the production sphere could not exist without the reproduction sphere, in the same way as the reproductive labour is conceived in order to support the productive labour. Yet, if both labours are indispensable to capitalism, only the productive labour owes a monetary value.

Hey Guys,
here come the basic recepes (see in the attach media) from the breakfast team. They are in German at the moment and can of course also be translated if englishspeaking persons will ask to do so. (So we don´t translate them without anyone feeling the urge to make "laughing lentils" or naughty nettle" ;) )
A warm hug from WItzenhausen to all of you,
The breakfasters
