macOS Finder in List view does not show folder sizes by default.
To enable folder sizes in List view for specific locations, select View ➝ Show View Options from the menu bar or press Command+J and check Calculate All Sizes.
To enable more global monitoring of folder sizes, you can enable the Preview panel by selecting View ➝ Show Preview or pressing Shift+Command+P.
For a separate and static display of folder size, you can use the Get Info panel by selecting File ➝ Get Info or pressing Command+I.
