'This is an innovative and significant reconceptualization of global political economy that lets us recognize a host of issues that other frameworks leave obscure and helps us understand the deep connections among politics, reproduction, and the information age economy.' - Professor Craig N. Murphy, Wellesley College, USA 'Here is feminist political economy at its very best. Neatly synthesizing an array of studies on globalization, feminist economics, and social theory, and drawing on feminist, Marxist, postcolonial and world-system insights, Spike Peterson has produced an outstanding (and accessible!) study of contemporary economic, political, and cultural processes. With conceptual sophistication and clarity, she elucidates the links among the productive, reproductive, and virtual economies, and draws attention to the gendered ideologies, identities, and institutions that constitute each. Her feminist explication of the virtual economy is especially original. The book is bound to become a classic.' - Dr Valentine M. Moghadam, Illinois State University, USA
