Feminist Economy - Why economics needs feminism and vice versa
Why economics needs feminism and vice versa
by Hélène Périvier
Description
Economics as a discipline was conceived by men in the interests of a society run by men. It is also the social science with the fewest women; barely a quarter of economists are women. This book lifts the veil on the apparent neutrality economic concepts and analyses. In so doing, it sheds light on the foundations of a social organization based on the patriarchal model focused on Mr. Breadwinner, while Ms. Housewife has become Ms. Paidappitance.
