Feminist Political Economy

A Global Perspective

Sara Cantillon, Odile Mackett and Sara Stevano

Feminist political economy is essential to understanding the hierarchies that sustain contemporary capitalism. Motivated by the rejection of gender-blind approaches in economics and political economy, feminist political economy shines light on the power relations that shape household, national and global dynamics. Feminist political economists recognize and explore the relations between the economic, the social and the political in the reproduction of inequality.

In this book, Sara Cantillon, Odile Mackett and Sara Stevano provide a much-needed introduction to key topics in feminist political economy. Taking a global perspective and engaging in debates that are relevant for the Global North and/or the Global South, they offer a course for social scientists looking to gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the role of power relations and inequality in the economy.
