‘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. 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
