This pioneering book aims to rectify and reduce the historic marginalization of women's economic scholarship, underlining their contributions to the field of heterodox economics.
Written by women, the book centers women's voices, allowing them to represent themselves and their work. With most of the contributors originating beyond the Anglophone sphere, the book has a global outlook, pushing against the USA-centric scholarship on women in heterodox economics of recent decades. Focussing on why women are heterodox economists, and on their contributions to traditions in the field, chapters include first-hand accounts by both established and emerging heterodox economists covering their careers, influences, and thoughts on the future of the field. It also showcases the contributions of key women scholars to the development of dominant approaches including original institutional economics, feminist economics, Marxist economics, post-Keynesian economics and development economics.
A vital reference for heterodox economists around the globe, this Elgar Companion is also an enlightening read for scholars in political economy, sociology, history, political science, philosophy and gender studies.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This powerful collection stands out as testimonial to the racial patriarchy within heterodox economics. Bernasek and Chester unapologetically amplify works by feminist economists worldwide grounded in ethics, community and lived experience making it a must read for anyone interested in people-focused economics.' -- Caroline Shenaz Hossein, Author of Politicized Microfinance and Founder of the DISE Collective 'Attention to gender equality has strengthened heterodox economic approaches, which have, in turn, helped empower women. This volume offers a stunning diversity of valuable insights into the intellectual and political collaborations that have driven this international process.' -- Nancy Folbre, University of Massachusetts Amherst, USA 'This refreshing volume merges personal accounts with intellectual contributions to give a fuller-than-usual picture of the role of women in challenging, seeking refuge in, and pushing the political and conceptual boundaries of heterodox economics. Together, the contributions offer an important corrective to mainstream views of the discipline.' -- Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven, King's College London, UK
