Reviews
'With this interesting and highly relevant book, Joyce Jacobsen has provided a masterful account of the issues, debates, and ideas that feminist economists have written about for decades. Jacobsen has both the research record and the career trajectory to write as a leading expert on the intersections between economics and feminism. This is no ordinary textbook; rather it is an informed and carefully-crafted digest that fills a gaping hole in the literature and will enlighten students and educators alike.' -- Yana van der Meulen Rodgers, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, US
'This is a very refreshing supplement to most economics textbooks we deploy in our classrooms. The book provides a concise overview of ideas that have critiqued Homo economicus at an epistemological, theoretical, analytical, computational, ethical, and policy level for more than 100 years. Homo economicus rises from the pages as a sentient being who can love, give birth, care for others. She or he can interact instead of just transact, recognize that markets fail, and sacrifice for the collective good. I will certainly be featuring her in my own syllabi!' -- Shareen Joshi, Journal of Economic Literature 'This book is a treasure trove for those embarking on doing feminist economics.' -- Rajshree Bedamatta,LSE Review of Books 'With this interesting and highly relevant book, Joyce Jacobsen has provided a masterful account of the issues, debates, and ideas that feminist economists have written about for decades.
